Erdogan: Muslim nations to seek UN ‘annulment’ of Trump’s Jerusalem move

Here is the sub-headline:

Any bid to have world body counter decision to recognize holy city as Israel's capital would be blocked at Security Council, non-binding at General Assembly

The source is The Times of Israel, 15 December 2017.

Here is the lede plus one:

Turkey’s president said Friday that Muslim nations will ask the United Nations for an “annulment” of US President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the initiative would start at the UN Security Council and if it’s “vetoed there, we will work within the UN General Assembly for the annulment of this unjust and lawless decision.”

So President Erdogan is throwing his lot in with US Democrats?
