Erdogan says Jerusalem is ‘our red line’
Speaking at a joint news conference, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Tunisian President Beji Caid Essebsi say their nations will never accept changes to Jerusalem’s historic status after US President Donald Trump’s recognition of the city as Israel’s capital.
“Jerusalem is our red line. Any steps against Jerusalem’s historic status and holiness are unacceptable,” Erdogan says, adding that his country will work toward international recognition of the Palestinian state and seek the support of the European Union.
