Inside Story - Does Egypt Support Donald Trump's Jerusalem Move?
In leaked phone recordings, a senior intelligence officer reportedly told leading TV talk show hosts to influence their viewers to back the decision, contrary to widespread condemnation among Muslims.
The newspaper quoted Intelligence officer, Captain Ashraf Al Kholi, asking hosts "how is Jerusalem different from Ramallah"? It’s the base of the Palestinian Authority in the occupied West Bank. Captain Al Kholi was quoted telling the talk show hosts that an intifada could revive Hamas and wouldn't serve Egypt’s national security interests.
Saudi Arabia is also being criticised for what's seen by some as a weak reaction to Trump's policy change. As King Salman publicly denounced Trump, the heir to the throne, Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman, was reportedly urging Palestinian leaders to accept the change.
What does the apparent shift mean for the future of Jerusalem?
