Formally recognise Jerusalem as the capital city of Palestine.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

In Palestine there is a lot of conflict going on. Donald trump has now stated that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel on the sacred day of the Nakba ('catastrophe'). To the Palestinian people it is a horrific day because it is the day the Israeli people got independence using the Palestinian land.
