OIC to hold emergency meeting over Trump's Middle East plan

Turkey's Foreign Minister will attend the meeting to discuss the most recent developments with regard to Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the ministry said in a statement. Turkey has blasted the peace plan, calling the agreement "an annexation plan aiming at usurping Palestinian lands and killing two-state solution."

The Arab League completely rejected Trump's Middle East plan during an emergency meeting in Egypt's capital two days ago, saying it would not lead to a just peace deal.

Saudi authorities have not issued visas for the Iranian participants for the meeting, ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi said."The government of Saudi Arabia has prevented the participation of the Iranian delegation in the meeting to examine the 'deal of the century' plan at the headquarters of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation," Mousavi said.

Iranian officials have condemned Trump's plan for resolving the conflict between Israel and Palestine as a non-starter after it was officially announced last week.

Palestinian leadership has rejected the plan, saying it heavily favors Israel and will deny them a viable independent state.

EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell said the plan challenges the internationally agreed parameters, noting that the EU shares the commitment to a two-state solution and respect for international law.
