Manama: UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Dr Anwar Mohammad Gargash said on Saturday that US President Donald Trump’s decision to recognise occupied Jerusalem as the capital of Israel was a boon to extremists.

“These issues are a gift to radicalism. Radicals and extremists will use that to fan the language of hate,” Gargash said, speaking at the Manama Dialogue security conference in Bahrain.
