Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim on Monday called on Muslims to "protect Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque."
Speaking at the Al-Quds forum, Yildirim added that there will be no stability in the region without resolving the Palestinian issue. His comments came hours after Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who spoke at the same forum, urged Muslims to go up to the Temple Mount and claimed that "Israel is a racist country."
