RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA: Saudi Arabia’s King Salman on Tuesday warned President Donald Trump that moving the US embassy from 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. Trump informed Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas of his intention to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, Abbas’s office said Tuesday. Ties between Saudi Arabia and the United States appeared to have warmed after the election of Trump, who chose the Gulf kingdom for his first overseas visit in May. Israel and Saudi Arabia have no official diplomatic relations.
