Gaza, MINA – Head of Hamas Political Bureau Ismail Haniyeh said yesterday that his movement hopes that the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) will condemn US President Donald Trump’s decision that Jerusalem is Israel’s capital, the Anadolu Agency reported.

“We are waiting for the OIC to take a decision that matches the anger of the nations,” Haniyeh said, pointing out that the expected decision is “to reject the US recognition”.

The remarks came during a telephone call with the Iranian President Hassan Rouhani as the leaders discussed the jerusalem-as-israeli-capital/">US decision on Jerusalem and plans to move the American embassy to the holy city.
