US Secret­ary of State Rex Tiller­son expres­ses concer­ns over Riyadh's involv­ement in Yemen, Qatar and Lebano­nPARIS: US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson urged Saudi Arabia to take a more cautious approach to regional conflicts Friday amid growing concern over Riyadh’s involvement in Yemen, Qatar and Lebanon. The criticism comes only days after Saudi Arabia’s King Salman warned President Donald Trump that moving the US embassy for Israel to Jerusalem was a “dangerous step” that could rile Muslims worldwide. “Moving the US embassy is a dangerous step that provokes the feelings of Muslims around the world,” state-run Al-Ekhbariya TV quoted King Salman as telling Trump in a phone call. Tillerson, speaking at a news conference with French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, added more detail to Trump’s demand. Despite it being a US ally and host of a major air base, Saudi Arabia accuses Qatar of complicity with Iran.
