Turkey warns Trump; Don't recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital

Turkey has warned not to cross the 'red line' by his announcement.

Erodgan said "Mr Trump! Jerusalem is a red line for Muslims,"

"We could go as far as cutting diplomatic ties with Israel over the issue."

Many countries have asked Trump not to make his anticipated announcement, in which US will shift position on the status of Jerusalem this week.



Donald Trump missed a deadline on Monday to sign a waiver which would postpone moving the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a campaign pledge he has delayed fulfilling.

If Washington recognises Jerusalem as Israel's capital, it would be the first country to do so since the foundation of the state in 1948. Israel has always regarded it as its capital city, while the Palestinians claim East Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state.
