Lebanon's Prime Minister Saad Hariri on Friday criticised US President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, saying it posed a new challenge to the already tense Middle East.

"It complicates the peace process even more (between Israel and the Palestinians) and creates a new challenge to regional security," he said at a meeting in Paris. "In the name of the Lebanese people, I can only repeat our rejection of this decision."
