Is the Bible a land registry that makes Jerusalem the “eternal capital” of the Jewish people and the state of Israel? This conception, shared by the current Israeli and U.S. administrations, underlies the decision of President Trump, heavily influenced by evangelical Christians, to transfer the U.S. embassy to the holy city. On the other hand, isn’t the Bible just a legend, used to justify the negation of the rights of the Palestinians to a city where they form 40 percent of the population? This conception, which the Muslim countries espouse, has inspired resolutions by international organizations denying any connection between the Jewish people and the Old City of Jerusalem from the moment that the veracity of the biblical texts became questionable. So is the Bible a land registry or a legend? The truth is very complex.
