The Turkish government has warned the US that it could spark a “major catastrophe” if President Trump follows through on his 2016 campaign promise to relocate the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

The warning was made Monday during a press conference held by Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdag.

During the televised statement, Bozdag warned the US against either relocating its embassy or even recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, claiming that any change in the status quo could cause a “catastrophe”.

"If the status of Jerusalem is changed and another step is taken... that would be a major catastrophe.”

"It would completely destroy the fragile peace process in the region, and lead to new conflicts, new disputes and new unrest."

Bozdag also claimed that any moves to change the status quo vis-à-vis Jerusalem, including mere recognition of the city as Israel’s capital, would benefit "neither Israel ... nor the region."

"It would not benefit anything. Rather than open new doors, it would drag the region into a new disaster."

Unintentionally used symbols that made my reply into hypertext. Anyway, I’ll research.

Really. By going Islamic, Erdoğan has squandered Turkey’s chance at becoming a respectable member of the western community.

Naming Jerusalem, Trump will call the entire world’s bluff! This will not be a catastrophe at all, but it is fascinating to watch.

This, is world leadership.

Well said. I like your Yiddish expression!

So, you think he can do something his terrorist friends already haven’t wanted and tried to do?

Duh.

He and the other official and unofficial leaders of Islam, have and probably soon will, secrectly give the go signal to their cells thru-out USA and the western world. Watch for increased _lone_wolf_ and small or large incidents to break out.
