You do realize pressure is only applied if you have force to back it up. None in the Arab world has that you've been applying this for last 70+ years no one in US/EU even cared. What Trump did was already well understood in the State Department they always believed Jerusalem to be Israeli Capital (I have friends in the State Department who attested to it), they feared a strong reaction, Trump took the risk and said it loudly and lo and behold nothing happened. The other issue you have all your Eggs in US/EU basket your stuck and can't' do anything.
Not only did they fear a strong reaction, they never officially announced it just to appeal to their base that they kept their campaign promise, and that's what Trump did which gave Netanyahu the green light for this. Look at all the embassies that shifted to Jerusalem almost immediately after that terrible announcement.
Most US presidents would say they believed and even supported all of Jerusalem to be Israel's capital only during their campaign runs. It was an election strategy to appease the strong and powerful Jewish contingency here in the United States to earn their votes. BUT, they NEVER followed through with it once elected because they were smart enough and surrounded themselves with the best advisors whom told these newly elected presidents that it's not a good idea and that Jerusalem should remain the way it is until a two-state solution is created because that city is a huge part of creating a two-state solution or it would create either a 3rd intifada or some form of violence and here we are. So the US is ultimately responsible.
There are ways to put pressure on both the US and the EU but getting an entire batch of Muslim & even non-Muslim nations to form a true alliance that can put enough pressure economically and diplomatically on those two entities is a practical impossibility as there is too much infighting already between us. But that's the diplomatic solution or, Turkey, Egypt, Saudiya, the UAE, Jordan, Pakistan, Sudan, Algeria, all unite in a coalition and bomb the daylights out of Israel's military and suffer the huge consequences. Anything else will only exacerbate the current situation or make it worst.
