Russians are concerned about Trump's move

The Russian Foreign Ministry voiced alarm over Trump's decision, warning that it risked aggravating already complicated Israeli-Palestinian ties and threatened regional security.

"Moscow views the decisions announced in Washington with serious concern," the ministry said in a statement on Thursday.

"In light of this we call on all involved parties to show restraint and forgo any action that would be fraught with dangerous and uncontrollable consequences," it added.

Moscow further reiterated that the dispute over the status of Jerusalem al-Quds should be resolved through "direct Palestinian-Israeli talks".

Additionally, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the recent US move is causing a split in the international community.

Russia's RIA news agency quoted Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov as saying that Moscow would criticize Trump's decision at the United Nations Security Council.

The council is expected to meet on Friday for talks called by more than half its members in response to Trump’s controversial decision.
