British prime minister says US decision on Jerusalem 'unhelpful' for peace


(MENAFN- Saudi Press Agency)
London, Rabi'I 19, 1439, Dec 7, 2017, SPA -- British Prime Minister Theresa May views the decision by the United States President Donald Trump to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel as unhelpful to peacemaking in the region.
In a statement, 'We disagree with the US decision to move its embassy to Jerusalem and recognize Jerusalem as the Israeli capital before a final status agreement. We believe it is unhelpful in terms of prospects for peace in the region. The British Embassy to Israel is based in Tel Aviv and we have no plans to move it,' May said in a press statement.
