Erdogan urges ‘hundreds of thousands’ Muslims to visit Jerusalem in support of Palestinians

‘The Turkish president has described Israel’s treatment of Palestinians as “racist” and “discriminatory,” as he urged Turks and other Muslims to visit Jerusalem “more often” to support the Palestinian struggle for an independent state.
Claiming that the decade-long Israeli embargo on the Gaza Strip “has no place in humanity,” Recep Erdogan called Israeli practices against Palestinians “racist” and “discriminatory.”
The “only solution” to the Israeli-Palestinian issue is to establish “a fully sovereign and independent Palestinian state, with East Jerusalem as its capital along the lines of 1967,” Erdogan stressed speaking in Istanbul at the International Forum on Al-Quds Waqfs.
The fate of Jerusalem is one of the key issues in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Both Israel and the Palestinians want the historic religious cradle as their capital. The United Nations considers East Jerusalem to be occupied Palestinian territory but hopes that one day Jerusalem can become the capital of two states, Israel and Palestine.’
