The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has
declared East Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine, rejected the US
stance as "dangerous" and called on the international community to
follow in its footsteps.
At a summit held in Turkey a week after US
President Donald Trump declared Jerusalem as Israel's capital, the group
of Muslim leaders on Wednesday Dec 13,2017 called on all countries to "recognise
the State of Palestine and East Jerusalem as its occupied capital".
In a statement, the OIC added that the 57-member group remains committed to a "just and comprehensive peace based on the two-state solution".
"[We] consider that this dangerous declaration, which aims to change the legal status of the [city], is null and void and lacks any legitimacy," the group said
