Hamas says US President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital would “open the gates of hell.”

“This decision will open the gates of hell on US interests in the region,” Ismail Radwan, an official with the Palestinian Islamist movement that runs the Gaza Strip, tells journalists after Trump’s announcement.

He calls on Arab and Islamic states to “cut off economic and political ties with the US embassy and expel American ambassadors to cripple” this decision.
