Decisions made at the approaching meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) will show that U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as the Israeli capital will not be easy to implement, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday. A spokesman for Erdogan on Wednesday had announced that the OIC would a hold an urgent meeting in Turkey on Dec. 13 to coordinate a response to the decision by the United States. The OIC, established in 1969, consists of 57 member states with a Muslim majority or a large Muslim population.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe explained to all our interlocutors that the United States\u2019 decision does not comply with international law, diplomacy or humanity,\u201d Erdogan said at a Justice and Development Party (AKP) assembly in Turkey\u2019s central province of Sivas, referring to phone calls he made to leaders including French President Emmanuel Macron and the Pope. \u201cWith the roadmap we will create during the OIC meeting, we will show that the decision will not be easy to implement,\u201d he said, adding that Turkey considers US President Trump\u2019s Jerusalem announcement void.<\/p>\n
The Arab League, in a statement issued after an emergency session in Cairo on Saturday, called the announcement a \u201cdangerous violation of international law\u201d and said it would seek a UN Security Council resolution rejecting the U.S. move.<\/p>\n
The Arab League, which consists of Arabic-speaking nations, currently has 22 active member states. Trump\u2019s announcement has also upset US allies in the West. At the United Nations, France, Italy, Germany, Britain and Sweden called on the United States to \u201cbring forward detailed proposals for an Israeli-Palestinian settlement\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
