While one can argue about the wisdom of the Trump announcement that the US recognizes that Jerusalem is the capital if Israel, what Hamas says, urges, etc. is really total bullshit. Hamas is still on record as calling for the destruction of Israel, so where the capital is or is not matters not at all to that misguided group, a terrorist group whose leader makes sure he is well out of Gaza to preserve his own life even as he urges others to die for that which he calls for
