Abbas urges Russia’s Putin, Morocco king to help stop Trump moves on Jerusalem

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas calls on Russian President Vladimir Putin and Morocco’s King Mohammed VI to help stop US President Donald Trump from moving the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

In separate conversations with both leaders, Abbas underscores the need for “everyone to protect Jerusalem and its Islamic and Christian holy sites,” the official PA news agency Wafa reports.
