It’s feared there’ll be more violence in the Middle East over the coming hours as the Arab world reacts to the United States’ change of policy on Jerusalem.

Donald Trump’s call will eventually see the US embassy in Israel moved to Jerusalem, contradicting long-standing international assurances to the Palestinians that the fate of the city will be determined in future negotiations.

PM speaks with Professor Bassam Dally, vice president of the Australia Palestine Advocacy Network, who is concerned that President Trump’s decision may be the trigger for a third intifada.
