US President Donald Trump told Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas in a phone call Tuesday that he intended to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, Abbas's office said.
Trump "informed the president (Abbas) on his intention to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem," a statement from the Palestinian presidency said.
It was not clear from the statement if Trump planned to move the embassy immediately or at some point in the future, with no further details provided.
Abbas in turn "warned of the dangerous consequences of such a decision on the peace process, security and stability in the region and the world," the statement said.
