Islamic countries condemn planned U.S. embassy move

Organization of Islamic Cooperation rejects actions that could undermine PA's ability to claim Jerusalem for a state.

Foreign ministers from the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Thursday indirectly condemned plans by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump to move the embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, reports The Associated Press.

A statement issued after a meeting in Kuala Lumpur did not specifically mention the United States or Trump by name, but said the OIC rejected any actions that could undermine the ability of Palestinian Arabs to claim part of Jerusalem in a future state.

It also called on governments to desist from any activities that might encourage Israel to "pursue its illegal occupation and annexation of ....east Jerusalem, including any such encouragement through the transfer of their diplomatic missions to the city."

The statement invited the OIC’s 57 member states "to take the necessary steps and measures" in response to any such hostile position, but did not elaborate.

Moving the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and thus recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital was a central campaign promise of Trump’s.

One of Obama’s and Vajajay’s many landmines. Obama is happy to see the USA crumble to dust now that he’s out of office. AND Obama left the mines to achieve his devious goal. It’s up to Trump to watch his footing. F Obama.

Thanks for the mention.

I’m not aware of those type of expectations.

Interesting...

They’re totally afraid of their own people killing them. What a bunch of sissies.

That’s all the more reason to move our Embassy there.

Trump needs to destroy ISIS, work with Israel to destroy the Iranian nukes, and rethink our ‘alliance’ with the Saudis and other terror-backing nations who fund murder while pretending to be our friends.

Energy independence through 100% American production of oil and blow up the terror-funding oil wells in the Middle East.

Lots of things on the list to do for Trump!

I have been having MANY thoughts reflecting our political reality in America as I read my Bible, these days.

Way more than usual and it is exciting to be a Christian in America.

My message to Islamofascists. Kiss my grits. They own over 100 times the area of Israel and still are herding goats. Israel did more with its postage stamp sized country in the past century than they have done in a millenium and a half.

Physically relocating any embassy office should have nothing to do with the fact of their mission and purpose.

These politicians of “Islamic” countries are really making a purely political claim, not an “Islamic” claim. Their Koran tells them differently:

Well, the thing is, for end times Jerusalem has to become and be recognized as the capitol.

I have said it before and will note it again here. Minor nuances are often overlooked in the Bible. There are two mentions of the Holy City/holy city. It refers to the same city, but one is with the indwelling of Almighty God and one is during the time of the gentiles.

The last 8 years I have also contended that America must be made small on the world stage. Look at us even here on FR, praising Putin who seemingly is set to stop ISIS. The progressive left has attempted to spread their message of sin around the world with the gay rights agenda etc. America made small and the Lord will punish us for a time to come.

Revelations though, speaks of a great eagle several times. An eagle from God Almighty, years have passed since I first suggested it...but that eagle is America. It is an eagle that cries out in Rev. 8, it is an eagle that rescues the woman (Jerusalem government) in Rev. 12, it is just something to consider... more and more are coming to realize America is likely in Revelations. For whatever reason though we’ve all been taught not to look for ourselves in prophecy.
