East Jerusalem is the capital of Palestine despite all steps taken to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said in a gathering.

AVA-Erdoğan’s remarks came during a dinner organized by the TURKEN Foundation in London.
Speaking of the U.S. administration’s decision to move their embassy to Jerusalem, a move expected to come on May 14, Erdoğan said 128 countries voted clearly against this decision at the U.N. general assembly.
He said only a few countries had to vote with the U.S. as they were told to do so in various phone calls in return of financial aids.
“Jerusalem, above all, east Jerusalem is the capital of Palestine. As the Islamic world, we accept it as it is,” Erdoğan said.
