The United Nations' Middle East envoy has responded to Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, warning of the risk of "violent escalation" following the US president's announcement. | |
Nickolay Mladenov told a UN Security Council meeting that Trump's decision has caused "anxiety across the Middle East and beyond," but has been "widely welcomed in Israel." He went on to state that he is "particularly concerned about the potential risk of violent escalation." | |
"We continue to follow developments on the ground very closely. We all understand and respect the symbolic religious and emotional charge that jerusalem holds for people across the region and beyond." | |
