Hamas warns US against embassy relocation to Jerusalem

A senior Hamas leader has warned the new U.S. President, Donald Trump, against plans to move the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, saying it would harm regional stability.


In a statement posted on the Hamas website on Sunday, Moussa Abu Marzouq said: “The relocation of the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem will pose an increasing danger.”

Abu Marzouq slammed statements by Trump and his aides, saying they “neither serve stability in the region nor serve the U.S. itself”.
