REUTERS/Ammar AwadAMMAN - 3 December 2017: Jordan has begun consultations on convening an emergency meeting of the Arab League and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation before an expected move this week by U.S. President Donald Trump to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital, a senior Jordanian source said.A senior U.S. administration official said on Friday that Trump was likely to make the controversial declaration in a speech on Wednesday. "It could ultimately hamper all efforts to get the peace process moving and would certainly be provocative to Arab and Muslim countries and Muslim communities across the West," said the source, asking not to be named. "No issue can move Arabs and Muslims in the same potent way as Jerusalem does. "If it happens (recognition of Jerusalem) it will jeopardise all efforts towards stability and peace in the region and thwart a resolution of the conflict," the regional diplomatic source said.
