Legal aspects, political status and the history following the occupation of the holy city and Palestine as a whole were among the issues discussed. Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak is leading the Malaysian delegation to the extraordinary OIC summit in Istanbul. The summit will start with Erdogan's speech followed by OIC secretary-general Dr Yousef Ahmad Al-Othaimeen and Palestine President Mahmoud Abbas. Meanwhile, Adnan al-Husayni, the Jerusalem governor of the Palestinian Authority, has suggested that the OIC should declare Jerusalem as the capital of the state of Palestine in response to Trump's action. But it is within our capacity to speak about the future of Jerusalem, not Trump,” al-Husayni told the Turkish English-language daily.
