Background

Jerusalem's Arabic, Islamic and Christian identity is facing growing threats. These ‎threats have grown more and more when Trump stated the recognition of Jerusalem ‎as the capital of Israel and ordered to transfer the American Embassy to Jerusalem. ‎Therefore, Palestine as well as the Arab World must confront this challenge by ‎setting convenient plans and strategies.‎

And hence, An-Najah National University is holding the 14th Jerusalem Day ‎Conference titled: "The Status of Jerusalem in the Current Palestinian Context".‎

Themes

• The impact of Trump's statement on the future of Jerusalem
• The role of national and Islamic forces in preserving Jerusalem as an Arab ‎Palestinian city
• The Arab and Islamic countries attitude of Trump's statement

• The public role in preserving and defending the Arab identity of Jerusalem
• Threats of Judaizing Jerusalem after Trump's statement
