Chairman Mahmoud Abbas is having difficulty recruiting Arab leaders against United States recognition of Jerusalem, according to News 2. Abbas has called all leaders of the Arab and Islamic region and asked to convene an emergency meeting of the Arab League and the Commonwealth of Islamic States.
Despite Abu Mazen's appeals, the leaders of the Arab world are not cooperating with him. The only one who joined him is Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Hamas politburo chief Ismail Haniyeh spoke on the phone with Abbas and agreed that the PA should demonstrate against the American decision, which could be announced by President Donald Trump on Wednesday.
