Abbas at Vatican: "Moving embassy to J'lem harms peace"
None
Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas said after meeting at the Vatican with Pope Francis "If US President-elect Donald Trump moves the American embassy to Jerusalem, it will harm the peace process." He added, "We are waiting to see if that happens. If it does happen, it will not help peace, and we hope it will not happen. "
Abbas also addressed the issue in an interview with the French newspaper "Le Figaro" published this morning where he said that if Trump does move the embassy to Jerusalem - the Palestinians may cancel the recognition of the State of Israel.
