VATICAN CITY
(AP) -- The Vatican stressed the sacred nature of Jerusalem on
Saturday as the Palestinian leader warned that prospects for peace could
suffer if the incoming Trump administration goes ahead with plans to
move the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
The
developments came as Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas met with Pope
Francis and inaugurated the Palestinian embassy to the Holy See.
Abbas
said he had only heard through news reports of the proposal by U.S.
President-elect Donald Trump to move the embassy to Jerusalem.
