Najib Razak told Muslims at an annual gathering of his ruling party in Kuala Lumpur they should reject the actions of Donald Trump to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

He said: “I call on all Muslims across the world to let your voices be heard, make it clear that we strongly oppose any recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital for all time.”

Both Palestine and Israel have a territorial claim to the contested capital and the international community has previously agreed that two separate states for the groups should be created.

War has intermittently broken our between Israel and Palestine for more than half a century over a bitter land dispute.
