From the New York Times, I'm Michael Barbarrow. This is The Daily.

Today, the Arab world says President Trump just sabotaged the chance of peace between Israel and the Palestinians,

but had the Arab world given up on the Palestinians long ago.

And a visit with the new crown prince of Saudi Arabia. It's Thursday, December 7.

Thank you. When I came into office, I promised to look at the world's challenges with open eyes and very fresh thinking.

We cannot solve our problems by making the same failed assumptions and repeating the same failed strategies of the past.

All challenges demand new approaches.

And what was the reaction throughout the Arab world to this announcement from President Trump?

It is time to officially recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

That the US now considers Jerusalem to be the capital of Israel and will move our embassy there.

It's something that has to be done.

Well, in a word, horror.

And Bernard is the Beirut bureau chief of the Times.

What we've seen is America just opened the gates of hell.

Unanimous condemnation from all corners of the Arab and Muslim world.

Because this is if anything a declaration of war against the Palestinian people and their rights in their homeland.

Every single US diplomatic pose to cross the Muslim world right now is bracing for the impact, potential violence, and what will undoubtedly be an impact on foreign policy.

We've heard from the King of Jordan saying that this is going to be a blow to any hopes for settlement in the Middle East and that it can destabilize the whole region.

We've heard from President Erdogan of Turkey that Jerusalem is a red line for all Muslims all over the world.

And you have leaders that really disagree with each other on a lot of other things.

The sounding the same note here.

Iran's president Hassan Rouhani said earlier today that Iran will show no tolerance towards the arrogant power's aggression towards Islamic sanctities.
