国际英语资讯:Abbas warns of danger from U.S. decision on Jerusalem

"We call upon the Palestinian people to stand up and block the wall in the face of this unjust decision and to incite an uprising in Jerusalem so that this conspiracy does not pass," said Hamas statement.

It added that the move "is a blatant attack by the United States on the city, and gives the entity (Israel) a legitimate control on the city of Jerusalem, and a cover to continue the crimes of Judaization of the city."

Hamas said that any decision whatsoever will not change the fact that Jerusalem is a Palestinian Arab and Islamic land.

The movement called on Arab and Islamic states at the official and public levels "to stand by their responsibilities and to work to stop this resolution and to criminalize it."

Member of Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Executive Committee and Head of Information and Culture Department Hanan Ashrawi said Saturday that "such a step would destabilize the whole region, destroy the peace process, disqualify the U.S. from its role in the region and generate a new wave of extremism."

"I hope that nobody would take such a step; this would be extremely irresponsible and dangerous," she told Xinhua in a telephone interview, warning that it is "very dangerous and would transform into a religious issue" and that any "attempt at annexation or imposing an illegal position on Jerusalem would generate desirability in the entire region."

On Friday, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's spokesperson Nabil Abu Rudeinah said that the U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, or moving its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is "equally dangerous to the future of the peace process and would take the region into the square of instability."
