protests and warnings of further conflagration in the Middle East and led to violent clashes between Palestinian protesters and Israeli forces.
Speaking at the Parliament in Tehran on Sunday, President Rouhani referred to US president’s controversial decision on Beit-ul-moqaddas, saying the move won’t go unanswered.
“After regional powers’ conspiracy to let terrorist groups dominate the oppressed people in the region was defeated, the Americans today have launched a new plot with the help of the Zionists, which is an aggression on the sacred Quds,” Rouhani said.
“We were not, are not and will not be silent in the face of the conspiracies of the big powers, the US, the arrogance and the Zionism,” Rouhani pointed out.
Also on Sunday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said decisions made at the approaching OIC meeting will show that US recognition of Beit-ul-moqaddas as the Israeli capital will not be easy to implement, Reuters reported.
Turkey currently holds the chairmanship of the OIC established in 1969.
“We explained to all our interlocutors that the United States’ decision does not comply with international law, diplomacy or humanity,” Erdogan said at a Justice and Development Party (AKP) assembly in Turkey’s central province of Sivas, referring to phone calls he made to leaders including French President Emmanuel Macron and the Pope.
“With the roadmap we will create during the OIC meeting, we will show that the decision will not be easy to implement,” he said, adding that Turkey considers US President Trump’s Beit-ul-moqaddas announcement void.
Erdogan also lashed out at Israel, describing it as a “terrorist” regime and “killer of children” in his remarks.
He said: ‘Trump seeks to move forward by saying “there we go, I did it, it’s done! I’m sorry but... being strong does not give you such a right”.
