BAGHDAD, December 07, 2017 (WAFA) – Iraq Thursday summoned US ambassador to Baghdad to protest US President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
Iraqi Foreign Ministry said it had summoned US ambassador Douglas Silliman and handed him a memo protesting Trump’s decision.
“We caution against the dangerous repercussions of this decision on the stability of the region and the world,” an Iraqi government statement said.
“The U.S. administration has to backtrack on this decision to stop any dangerous escalation that would fuel extremism and create conditions favorable to terrorism,” it said.
