During his speech to AIPAC, a pro-Israel group, Barack Obama promised an “undivided Jerusalem” as part of a peace plan. Well, that statement angered Arab leaders, so Obama “corrected” it.
Obama caused outrage among the Palestinians in early June when he told a major US pro-Israel lobbying group that Jerusalem must remain the “undivided” capital of Jerusalem.
The international community including the U.S. does not recognize the city as the eternal capital of the Jewish state. Israel claims that Arab east Jerusalem, which was annexed in the 1967, is part of the undivided city.
Obama however, corrected his statements and said that the future of the city can be resolved through peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. The Palestinians want the eastern part of the city as the capital of their state.
