After that, Abbas, Egyptian President Abdelfattah Al-Sisi, king Abdullah II of Jordan, the representatives of Saudi Arabia warned trump that this decision will lead to the destabilization of the situation in the region and cause the indignation of Muslims around the world. Speaking before the Turkish Parliament, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan described the U.S. decision on Jerusalem "red line" and threatened to break diplomatic relations with Israel.
