In an unprecedented and quite dangerous incident that warns of a new era of conflict in the Middle East, and despite extensive Arab and international warning and denunciation, President Donald Trump announced the United States (US) recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and ordered the execution of an Act passed in 1995 by the former US Congress to relocate the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. In the wake of said statements, the BA, represented through its Antiquities Museum, and Alexandria University, represented through the Faculty of Law, are honored to invite international law expert Dr. Mofied Shehab—professor of international law at Cairo University and former Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research—to deliver a lecture entitled “Jerusalem: Between International Legitimacy and Political Settlement” on Tuesday, 20 February 2018, 6:00 pm, at the BACC Lecture Hall.
