Leaders from the the world's main pan-Islamic body on Wednesday urged the international community to recognize East Jerusalem as the Palestinian capital after U.S. President Donald Trump declared Jerusalem to be the capital of Israel.
 
The emergency summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Istanbul said it declared "East Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Palestine" and invited "all countries to recognize the State of Palestine and East Jerusalem as its occupied capital," according to the final statement.
 
They declared Trump's decision "null and void legally" and "a deliberate undermining of all peace efforts" that would give impetus to "extremism and terrorism."
