Prague – Czech President Milos Zeman on Saturday accused EU states of being "cowards" in their response to his US counterpart Donald Trump recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital, AFP reports.

"The European Union, cowards, are doing all they can so a pro-Palestinian terrorist movement can have supremacy over a pro-Israeli movement," said Zeman.

Following Trump's announcement, the Czech Foreign Ministry announced it recognized Jerusalem in its 1967 borders as capital of Israel.
