Minister for EU Affairs Ömer Çelik Evaluated the Decision of the US President Trump to Recognise Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel

Minister for EU Affairs and Chief Negotiator Ömer Çelik evaluated the statement by the US administration that it would recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and move the US Embassy to Jerusalem.

Minister for EU Affairs Ömer Çelik stated over his twitter account that the entire world should condemn the decision of the US administration that it would recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and move the US Embassy to Jerusalem and said: “This is a shameful decision in terms of politics and morality.”

Minister for EU Affairs Ömer Çelik emphasized that Trump attacked all efforts for peace in the Middle East with this decision and that Trump clearly indicated that he did not respect international law. Minister Ömer Çelik stated that this decision taken by US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who aim to overcome their political difficulties, will bring about new conflicts and it is clearly a provocation undermining the hope of peace.

Minister Ömer Çelik said that recognising Jerusalem as the capital of Israel was a decision that is illegitimate in view of law and history and noted that wise and conscientious people from all over the world and from all religions would not consider this to be a legitimate decision. 

Minister Ömer Çelik stated that this illegitimate decision would always be null and void in view of the actual status of Jerusalem and that Jerusalem and Palestine would not be left alone. Minister Ömer Çelik also said that this decision taken by Trump will be condemned by all in view of justice and law.
