Oh, but you do value when others recognize it as such as well. It may not be a big bargaining chip, but it nevertheless is one, and Trump gave that away. Next he'll try to press the Palestinians into accepting Abu Dis and not East Jerusalem as capital. The new Saudi king may already have done so, though the content in that NYT article is contested by other sources.
