YEREVAN. – The statements of US President Donald Trump about the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel was a great gift, because the Jews were dreaming of recognition for three thousand years, and the Jews themselves consider Jerusalem their capital, head of Armenia's Jewish community said.

“All state institutions, including the Knesset, are in Jerusalem. Anyway, this is the city of many religions. This is a city for the whole world. Trump ascertained the reality:  Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. However, many people do not like the idea, and they say that this is wrong. First and foremost, it is about Europe,” Rimma Varzhapetyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

Commenting on the issue that many are inclined to consider Trump's decision provocative, and it can aggravate the situation, the head of the community stated that these kind of speculations, in fact, aggravated the situation.

“The world must realize that sooner or later it must happen. No one talks about the fact that Palestinians, Arabs, do not have the right to live. They enjoy all the benefits of civilized Israel - free medicine, study, work, they have the right to a good life. But, at the same time, they are great enemies of Israel, living in the country,” she emphasized.

At the same time, Rimma Varzhapetyan noted that the intifada is about to start, as was already stated, and this is very dangerous.

“We believe that this may be the result of a flaw or an intent. It was necessary to prepare the world, it was necessary to prepare the ground for a solution, to protect Israel from attacks. And who could do this, if not America? And not personally Trump? It is a fact. At the same time, we are now at the threshold of a great Hanukkah holiday. It's a miracle. And, one of the miracles happened on the eve of the holiday. We do not believe that the statement had no right to exist. I’m not a politician, I have no right to judge big politicians, and being a Jewish woman, I like the decision. However, it is fraught with great danger,” head of the Jewish community added.
