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”.

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.
