President Trump on Tuesday informed Mahmoud Abbas that he plans on moving the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, the Palestinian president’s spokesman said.
“President Mahmoud Abbas received a telephone call from U.S. President Donald Trump in which he notified the President [Abbas] of his intention to move the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem,” Nabil Abu Rdainah said in a statement Tuesday, according to Reuters.
“President Abbas warned of the dangerous consequences such a decision would have to the peace process and to the peace, security, and stability of the region and of the world,” he added.
Rdainah’s statement did not state whether Trump elaborated on the timing of such a move to Abbas.
