President Trump has a chance to bring peace to the Middle East
Sunday 10th December 2017
Op-Ed by Cornerstone's Founder in the FT
"The world yearns for a Jerusalem open to Jews, Christians and Muslims of all nationalities and ethnicities. Mr Trump can turn the city into a global nightmare, or be the saviour not only of Jerusalem, but of so many lives. I pray that the city's history inspires the US president to be a true force for good in the region. The ball of Middle Eastern peace is in Mr Trump's court. The longer he takes to act, the more difficult it will be for him to go down in history as a peacemaker." Financial Times article
