Kremlin: US embassy move to Jerusalem may further worsen Israel-Palestinian relations

MOSCOW: The Kremlin said on Wednesday that Russia was concerned that the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian authorities could be aggravated further by US President Donald Trump’s plans to move the US Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
“However, we would not discuss the decisions which have not been taken yet,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a conference call with reporters.
Trump on Wednesday will deliver remarks about his decision on whether to move the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv, White House Press Secretary Sarah Saders said on Tuesday.
