(ETH) – In what sounds like something straight from the passage of Psalm 83 in the Bible, Turkey has just threatened to unite all Muslim countries against the Nation of Israel. This comes as a report from BIN stated that Israel’s plan to extend its sovereignty to the Jordan Valley and parts of Judea and Samaria would “destroy all hopes” for lasting peace in the Middle East, according to Turkey’s top diplomat.
“If the occupying power [Israel] crosses the red line, we [Muslim countries] must show that this will have consequences,” Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said during a special meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation Executive Committee, according to Turkey’s Anadolu Agency.
This virtual ministerial meeting, which was initiated by Turkey at the request of the Palestinian Authority, was dedicated to the issue of Israel’s recent planned sovereignty move. Cavusoglu went on to state that “the annexation of the Jordan Valley by Israel and illegal settlements would be a violation of international law,” and warned that this would end the two-state solution and replace it with a one-state solution that would turn Israel into a “racist” state.
