Trump recognizes Jerusalem as Israel's capital

Trump recognizes Jerusalem as Israel's capital. This event belongs in the Israel-Palestine long-horizon chronology because it marks a discrete action, decision, attack, legal ruling, diplomatic move, or accountability moment around U.S. Jerusalem policy. The record should be sourced as a singular event and kept separate from broader background explainers.
