Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTurkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan calls on Trump to reverse his decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital following a UN vote rejecting the move.
“We welcome with great pleasure the UN General Assembly’s overwhelming support for a historic resolution on Al-Quds Al-Sharif,” he says, referring to Jerusalem by its Arabic name. “We expect the Trump administration to rescind without further delay its unfortunate decision, whose illegality has been clearly established by UNGA.”
