Hariri Says U.S. Jerusalem Move 'New Challenge to Regional Stability'
Prime Minister Saad Hariri on Friday criticized U.S. President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, saying it posed a new challenge to the already tense Middle East.
"It complicates the peace process even more (between Israel and the Palestinians) and creates a new challenge to regional security," he said at a meeting in Paris.
"In the name of the Lebanese people, I can only repeat our rejection of this decision," he said.
