The possible movement of the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem won’t help the resolution of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Chairman of the Palestinian National Authority Mahmoud Abbas stated the aforementioned at the opening of the Palestinian Embassy to the Holy See on Saturday, RIA Novosti reports.

“We are waiting to see if it happens. If it does, it will not help peace and we hope it does not happen,” Abbas said.

The Palestinian leader noted that before the official opening ceremony, he met with Pope Francis and that Vatican fully recognized Palestine as an independent state. He expressed hope that other states will follow suit.

Earlier, Trump’s advisor, Kellyanne Conway, informed on the intention of the US President-elect to move the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
