None

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned on Wednesday that the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel by Washington "would play into the hands of terrorist groups."

 

"Such a step will only serve the game of terrorist groups," Erdogan said after a meeting in Ankara with King Abdullah II of Jordan.

 

The latter, for his part, stressed that the holy city was "crucial for the stability" of the region.
