Hamas warns Trump over Jerusalem
Hamas political head Khaled Mashaal is warning US President-elect Donald Trump that any moves to change the situation in Jerusalem would be “playing with fire.”
Trump has suggested he will move the US embassy to Jerusalem and recognize it as Israel’s capital.
“We say to Trump that there is no stability in the region without justice for Palestine,” says Mashaal.

Speaking at a political event in Turkey, Mashal says that Jerusalem is the “key to peace or war.”
“It is our responsibility to seize and liberate Jerusalem as well as the entire land of Palestine,” he says.
