On GPS at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN:
First Fareed gives his Take on President Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital – and why it seems more like pandering than diplomacy.
"There are ways to solve the Jerusalem problem, such as by carving out some neighborhoods in the eastern part of the city and allowing the Palestinians to claim those as their capital. Trump's announcement actually did not specifically foreclose this possibility, which makes the move even more puzzling. It actually achieves little on the ground, all the while offending millions of Palestinians, hundreds of millions of Arabs, and public opinion almost everywhere. When China, your European allies, the Pope, the kings of Saudi Arabia and Jordan all voice strong opposition, it is surely worth questioning the wisdom of the policy."
Next, Fareed hosts a panel to look more deeply at the issue. Joining him to discuss the Jerusalem decision, the prospects for a two-state solution, and more, are Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations and the author of "A World in Disarray," Hanan Ashrawi, a Palestinian lawmaker and a member of the executive committee of the PLO, and Dore Gold, a former Israeli ambassador to the United Nations and now president of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs.
