EU opposes shift of US Embassy site in Israel

BRUSSELS -- European Union foreign ministers on Monday opposed any plan by President-elect Donald Trump to move the US Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and warned that it could ratchet up tensions with the Arab world.

 

"It is very important for us all to refrain from unilateral actions, especially those that can have serious consequences in large sectors of public opinion in large parts of the world," EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini told reporters after chairing their talks in Brussels.

 

"We hope that there can be reflection on consequences of any move that is taken," she said.
