Will Trump spell the end of two-state solution in the Middle East?

Senior members of the Palestinian leadership are warning that Donald Trump's pledge to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem could spell the end of the two-state solution.

It is not clear whether the President-elect will make good on his promise but the Palestinian leader, Mahmoud Abbas, has written to Mr Trump urging him not to carry out the plan.

"We hope that this news is not true, because it is not encouraging and will disrupt and hinder the peace process," Mr Abbas said on Saturday, speaking after he inaugurated the Palestinian embassy to the Vatican.

And in Paris, more than 70 foreign ministers and other top officials will hold a conference on Sunday aimed at presenting Mr Trump with a renewed push for peace by the international community.

What Mr Trump has said is not new. Other US administrations have considered the move in the past, but have always backed away from the idea in the end.

Up until the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, Jerusalem was divided but after six days of fighting Israel conquered the eastern half of the city from Jordan.

Israel considers the whole of the city as its "eternal, undivided capital", but East Jerusalem is considered occupied under international law.

Palestinians hope the eastern part will one day be their capital if their dream of a future independent state is realised.

For the US to move its embassy to Jerusalem then would be controversial as it could be viewed as de facto recognition of Israel's claim.

Every week for the last 12 years villagers from Bi'lin have demonstrated against Israel's occupation and the construction of settlements in the West Bank, which are illegal under international law.

But following calls from the leadership they are also now protesting about Mr Trump and his policy towards Jerusalem and settlement building.

They believe it is a reflection of his alignment with the Israeli right wing.

Activist Abdallah Abu Rahma told me he fears the new American leader could upend decades of US policy destroying the chance of an independent state.

"If he continues his promise for the Israeli I think it will be another intifada in Palestine - it will be the third intifada and big intifada."
