“Let’s support the millions of Palestinians, who have been forced to stay under Israel’s occupation or fled abroad, with our actions, not with mere words,” Anadolu Agency quoted Mevlut Cavusoglu as telling a meeting in Istanbul of the foreign ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).

“We invite everyone who raised their voice to stop this injustice to recognize the Palestinian state,” he said.

Turkey currently holds the OIC presidency.

The meeting follows weeks of controversy over Israeli actions at Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque in the wake of a deadly shootout.
