Since President Trump decisions on status of Jerusalem, most tourists kept away from the occupied West Bank city of Bethlehem: Palestinians have celebrated Christmas amid tensions because of protests across the West Bank and Gaza Strip against the US flagrant violation of the UN Charter, of Internatinal Law and of the relevant UN Resolutions.
During the last UN general Assembly, 128 countries voted against Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, and only eight stayed with it. On the one hand, four of the eight countries that stood with the US are tiny Pacific Islands. On the other hand, US allies, such as France, Britain and Germany voted for the UN resolution.

So to sum up, the last month of 2017 confirms, once again, that the US is no longer credible as mediator in the peace process. That's why so many believe that President Trump has isolated the US. Actually, with regard to climate change he recently did the same.
Yemen and Syria, in addition to Palestinian people, are still paying a terrible price for the Saudi-Iranian rivalry. And some expert say that tensions may escalate into a major regional conflict including Lebanon.
