Palestine possibly opening embassies in other countries no threat - Israeli ambassador

MOSCOW. Dec 7 (Interfax) - Palestine opening embassies in several countries in response to Washington's decision to move its embassy to Jerusalem would be a violation of existing agreements, but this poses no danger, Israeli Ambassador to Russia Gary Koren said on Thursday.

"As for attempts to somehow balance out [the situation], we do not see it as a threat," Koren told a press conference in Moscow when asked about Israel's reaction to certain countries potentially opening Palestinian embassies on their territory.

Such a decision would run counter to the existing Oslo accords with the Palestinians, he said.

"In theory, this would be a violation of this agreement, which is supported by global community, including the United States and Russia," Koren said.
