According to the paper, PLO official Ahmed Majdalani claimed there were initial signs to indicate Trump's declaration regarding the move was merely a campaign slogan.
White House spokesman Sean Spicer said after the new president's inauguration that the issue is still being examined.
During his first briefing with reporters at the White House, Spicer was asked about Trump's intention to transfer the embassy to Jerusalem, and replied, "There is no decision yet, we are at very early stages."
In a meeting earlier this week with Jordan's King Abullah II, Abbas said that the potential embassy relocation "is an important matter for the king and an important matter for us. There will be no alternative to coordinating and articulating action points with one another to fight any steps that, if acted upon, would have severe ramifications."
