Pan-Islamic group urges more countries to recognize Palestine
The secretary general of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation calls on countries that have not recognized Palestine as a state to do so.
Yousef bin Ahmad Al-Othaimeen tells the extraordinary summit in Istanbul of the 57-member organization Wednesday that the US decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel is “an exceptional challenge” facing Muslim nations. He says the decision will fan violence in the region, giving extremists an excuse to sow chaos.
