Bolivia: Trump's decision 'further exacerbates turmoil in the region'

Sacha Llorenty, Bolivia's UN ambassador, described Trump's move as a "move against international law" and that "the decision further exacerbates turmoil in the Middle East."

"This decision will not only impact Israelis and Palestinians but the whole region...it will be exploited by radicals," said Llorenty. 

He added: "It's necessary to recall that though there are two parties they are not playing on a level field. One, Israel is the occupying force, and two, Palestine is the occupied."
