you mean that the Balfour Agreement means nothing
Jerusalem has been the center of the Israel government for a very long time. Trump is the only president of the last 4 that kept this ntion's word by acknowledging the obvious and recognized Jerusalem as the Israel capital . gutsy move and an honest one.
Why is anyone surprised at the UN's reaction Hypocrisy rains heavy in those hallowed halls called the UN. Trump exposes that hypocrisy
There has been continual talk over the years by all Administrations to boot the UN out of NYC .

Balfour, an English pronouncement, goes back about 100 years and is considered to be one of the main impediments to peace in the region.
Also....
"Israel claims all of Jerusalem as its capital, while the Palestinians claim the city's eastern sector, captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war, as the capital of a future independent state. These rival claims lie at the heart of the decades-long Israeli-Palestinian conflict."
While Israel controls the city and its government is based there, its annexation of east Jerusalem is not internationally recognized. The international community overwhelmingly says the final status of Jerusalem should be resolved through negotiations.
