Jerusalem is and always will be the capital of Palestine, said Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas over US decision on Jerusalem, during the summit in Istanbul on Wednesday.

“Jerusalem is and always will be the capital of Palestine,” said Mahmoud Abbas, adding that he would seek a UN Security Council decision to nullify Trump's decision over Jerusalem, Reuters reported.

According to Palestinian President, the US decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital was the “greatest crime” and a flagrant violation of international law.

 Last week, US President Donald Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. The US decision was positively received in Israel and prompted negative reaction by many countries. People have started protesting all over the Muslim world, also in Israel.
