The Palestinian Authority (PA) has recalled its envoy to the US weeks after Donald Trump recognised Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
The Palestinian Foreign Minister says the PA's envoy to Washington is being temporarily called back for consultations over the future of relations with the United States.
The move comes after Mr Trump recognised Jerusalem as Israel's capital, setting off unrest and prompting the Palestinians to reject Washington as a Mideast peace broker, a role it has held for decades.
Foreign Minister Riad Malki said on Sunday that discussions would take place "to set the decisions needed by the Palestinian leadership in the coming period regarding our relations with the US."
He says the envoy is expected to return to "his normal work" after the discussions.
Trump's decision upended decades of U.S. foreign policy and countered an international consensus that the fate of Jerusalem should be determined in negotiations.
The city is regarded as a capital by both Israel and Palestine, making it the combustible centre of the Israeli-Arab conflict.
It is home to the holiest ground in Judaism, but it also includes Islam's third-holiest shrine and major Christian sites.
The US has never previously endorsed the Jewish state's claim of sovereignty over any part of Jerusalem and has insisted its status be resolved through Israeli-Palestinian negotiation.
