Jerusalem’s status as part of Israel, or Palestine, or both has long been a controversial issue many politicians have shied away from.
But Donald Trump changed decades of US policy last week, by recognising the holy city as Israel’s capital.
That decision set off worldwide protests and condemnation.
Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan called a meeting of The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation on Wednesday to discuss a response.
He said the US decision was illegal and a threat to all humanity.
But what can the 57-member organisation realistically do to pressure the US?

  1. FOX News are gonna pretend like this meeting didn't take place, no coverage of it has been showed because it exposes Trump, America and Israel. Fake News. Free Palestine

  2. If the word "peace" unto the Palestinians means a "forced two-state solution," that is NOT "peace," but rather, the recipe for war and disaster, with the Palestinians hurling rockets and mortars into the settled Israeli regions. Let's face it, Israel has never had a true partner for peace with the Palestinians.

  3. I think some commentator people don't know about humanity. Just keep quit! that's the better for u. You don't know about Jerusalem. U know one thing only just say "Israel,Israel" ☺lol. But u should know that. in the future Al QUDS is our's for ever.
    En shaa Allah!!!

  4. Turkey is powerful when secular. This 'ummah' nonsense will lead to dead end for Turkey. Focus on developing your country and economy rather than 'we are the world' nonsense.

  5. U cant give in to demands of ppl or countries who demand terror if u dont do as they say. Many countries believe and know bethlaham is isreal capital
