King, Erdogan discuss Jerusalem over phone

AMMAN — His Majesty King Abdullah on Monday received a telephone call from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, during which they discussed the latest developments on Jerusalem, according to a Royal Court statement.

They stressed the importance of supporting Palestinians and protecting Jerusalem, in light of the decisions made during the recent Organisation of Islamic Cooperation summit held in Istanbul, and the United Nations' General Assembly resolution rejecting the US decision recognising Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

His Majesty and President Erdogan agreed to continue joint efforts aimed at maintaining the status quo in Jerusalem.
