“US embassy move to Quds ruins whole Middle East”

The Palestinian Fatah political faction has warned against the potential relocation of the US embassy from Tel Aviv to the occupied Jerusalem al-Quds, stressing that any such move will “explode the situation” in the Middle East and North Africa.

Ziad Khalil Abu Zayyad, the spokesman for the Ramallah-based movement, stated on Saturday that the US Congress “should understand that moving the US embassy to Jerusalem (al-Quds) will not only explode the situation in Palestine but the whole MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region.”

The Fatah spokesman’s remarks came as a US congressional delegation, led by Republican Congressman Ron DeSantis, is currently paying a visit to the occupied territories to study the possibility of the move.

Since taking office in late January, US President Donald Trump has been exploring avenues to fulfill his campaign pledge and move the US diplomatic mission in Israel to Jerusalem al-Quds.
