Aoun Says Trump's Decision Violates UN Resolutions
President Michel Aoun said on Monday that US President Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital violates the entire UN resolutions.
“Trump's decision on Jerusalem is a big mistake that violates resolutions of the UN Security Council and the General Assembly,” Aoun's media office quoted the president as saying on twitter.
On an Islamic summit to be held on Wednesday in Istanbul, Aoun said he will “ask Muslim leaders to take necessary decisions to preserve the Arab identity of Jerusalem, the city of all divine religions.”
Turkish President Recep Tayyib Erdogan has invited leaders of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) member states to convene on December 13 to discuss the US move to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
The OIC meeting aims to display a joint action and coordination among Muslim countries against US President Donald Trump's move.
