Israeli soccer club renames itself after Donald Trump following embassy move

The six-time Israeli football champions Beitar Jerusalem has renamed itself Beitar Trump Jerusalem in honour of the American president's move, describing the leader of the free world as 'courageous'.

After backing up a campaign promise US president Donald Trump has moved its embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv - much to the annoyance of most EU countries.

While this move has been celebrated by the Israelis, it has also angered the Palestinians who consider the eastern part of the city to be the capital of a future Palestinian state.
