The US President Donald Trump is expected to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital. The Palestinians said it would be a "kiss of death" for the Middle East peace process, but an Israeli minister urged other countries to follow the US lead. But how did the city become so politically important for both sides? The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½â€™s Yolande Knell and ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Arabic’s Hadya Al-alawi explain.
