\n\t\t\t\tThe 57-member organization issued a communique at the end of an emergency summit on Wednesday, declaring that it would recognize “East Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Palestine and invite all countries to recognize the State of Palestine and East Jerusalem as its occupied capital.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n\t\t\tThe declaration was a direct response to US President Donald Trump days after he referred to the city as the “eternal capital” of Israel.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe OIC rejected and condemned “in the strongest terms the unilateral decision by the president of the United States of America in recognizing Jerusalem al-Quds as the so-called capital of Israel, the occupying power.”<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tRenouncing Trump’s move as “null and void legally,” the OIC members said the decision was tantamount to “an attack on the historical, legal, natural and national rights of the Palestinian people, a deliberate undermining of all peace efforts, an impetus to extremism and terrorism, and a threat to international peace and security.”<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe OIC reaffirmed its continued commitment to the so-called two-state solution for ending the years-long Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Some speakers, however, said the US was no longer deemed reliable to mediate any peace deal.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tOIC members also said they would hold the US responsible for the consequences of the decision.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe communique also denounced Israel’s actions and policies against the people of Palestine as \u201ccolonial\u201d and \u201cracist.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tTrump has tasked the US State Department with making preparations for the relocation of Washington\u2019s embassy from Tel Aviv to the occupied Palestinian city.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThe dramatic shift in Washington\u2019s Jerusalem al-Quds policy has drawn fierce criticism from the international community, including Washington’s own allies, while triggering demonstrations against the US and Israel worldwide.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tAs the second-largest inter-governmental body after the United Nations, the OIC was established during a summit in Rabat, Morocco, in 1969, following an arson attack on the al-Aqsa Mosque in the occupied city.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tIran commends ‘high level of participation’<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tShortly after the OIC declaration, Iran’s Foreign Minister Javad Zarif hailed Islamic leaders for attending the summit in high capacities, taking an indirect jab at countries like Saudi Arabia and Egypt, which only sent low-level officials.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tSaudi Arabia\u00a0only sent its\u00a0minister for OIC affairs, while Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry represented Cairo.<\/p>\n
