Zawahiri calls for ‘jihad’ on eve of US embassy move to Jerusalem

Al-Qaeda chief says embassy move is evidence negotiations and 'appeasement' have failed Palestinians

Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri on Sunday said America's decision to shift its Israeli embassy to Jerusalem was evidence that negotiations and "appeasement" have failed Palestinians as he urged Muslims carry out "jihad" against the United States.

In a five-minute video entitled "Tel Aviv is also a Land of Muslims," the Egyptian doctor who took charge of the group after its founder Osama bin Laden was killed in 2011, referred to the Palestinian Authority as the "sellers of Palestine," while urging followers to take up arms.

US President Donald Trump "was clear and explicit, and he revealed the true face of the modern Crusade, where standing down and appeasement does not work with them, but only resistance through the call and jihad," Zawahiri said, according to a transcript provided by the SITE monitoring agency.

But as for Al Qaeda,  they are already wanting to attack us at every opportunity.

And a whole lot of the people over there have sentiments against Israel, it does make one wonder, how this can turn out.
