MNA – Iran's President Hassan Rouhani described the extraordinary OIC summit in Turkey "an opportunity for the Muslim world to declare its support for the Palestinian people and to condemn the illegal relocation of US embassy to Jerusalem (al-Quds)," saying US is more inferior than ever in the Muslim world.


Rouhani made the remarks on Friday morning at Mehrabad Airport, before leaving Tehran for Istanbul to attend the OIC extraordinary summit on the latest serious developments in the State of Palestine.

He stressed that defending Palestine and al-Quds is defending Islamic values and saving the great and civilized Palestinian nation from current regretful conditions.

"The relocation of the American embassy from Tel Aviv to al-Quds is illegal and contrary to international laws and regulations," he noted.
