MECCA: The 57-member Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Saturday slammed the US decision last year to transfer its embassy to Jerusalem and recognise the disputed city as Israel’s capital.

The summit condemned the “transfer of embassies of the United States and Guatemala to Jerusalem” and urged all members to “boycott” countries that have opened diplomatic missions in the city, a statement said.
