Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called on Washington to turn back from its “unlawful and provocative decision” on Jerusalem, and urged world states to recognize East Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine.

President Erdogan also called for the speeding-up of the process of incorporating Palestine into international accords. He was speaking to fellow Muslim leaders in Istanbul, at the emergency Islamic summit, called in response to Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

Erdogan reportedly also condemned the "violence shown by Israel," extending his condolences to the ‘martyrs’ who have fallen protecting the State of Palestine.

Earlier on Wednesday, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu voiced similar calls to “all other countries.”

"Firstly, the Palestinian state must be recognized by all other countries. We must all strive together for this," Cavusoglu said as foreign ministers convened ahead of the full summit meeting in Istanbul.

"We must encourage other countries to recognize the Palestinian state on the basis of its 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital," he noted.

Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas has described Washington’s recognition of Jerusalem as the Israeli capital as Trump’s “gift to the Zionist movement,” noting that extremists could use the move to “turn a political struggle into a religious one.”

Trump's controversial decision triggered protests across Muslim countries, amid warnings from Ankara that the US move would plunge the world "into a fire with no end."

When arabs first captured jerusalem, tgere was no mention of islam tge religion nor mohamad. They were simply known by the conquered christians as arabs. The jews were their allies hoping to gain control of their "promised land" from the christians.
That did not happen. Nor were there any mosque built. That "dome of tge rock mosque" came later. Maybe 50 years later after islam became a religion, probably due to christians and jewish influence.

Obviously you have never set foot in the Haram

The Dome of the Rock (Qubbat al-Ṣakhrah) is not a mosque.There is a rock within which is claimed to be "perfumed" - well it is because they pour perfume over it every day. Some claim it is the rock that represents the stone upon which the Prophet ascended to the heavens. Thus its reverance.

The original function and significance of the Dome of the Rock are uncertain. The building is not a mosque and does not fit easily into other categories of Muslim religious structures.

In modern times the original purpose of the Dome of the Rock remains a source of debate. It is commonly held that the Dome commemorates the Miʿrāj, the Prophet Muhammad’s ascension into heaven. However, the Dome’s construction appears to predate the emergence of traditions identifying Jerusalem as the site of the Miʿrāj, and none of the building’s inscriptions make reference to the episode.

The actual mosque is on the other side - the Al Aqsa Mosque. That is is where they prey.
