Turkey: US triggered a bomb

Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim accused Washington of trying to "blow up” the entire region

"The United States has tiggered a bomb to blow in the region," Yildirim told a conference in Ankara on Thursday.

Palestinian protesters run from tear gas fired by Israeli troops during clashes at a protest against Trump's decision, near the West Bank city of Ramallah, December 7, 2017.

He emphasized that Turkey did not recognize Trump's decission, urging Washington to revise its decision.

"First of all, as Turkey, we consider this decision as null and void decission. Secondly, Jerusalem, and particularly the al-Aqsa mosque, is a holy place of three religions. So a decision that effects and disturbs this status will stir up a big catastrophe," Yildirim said.
