Abstract

The research aims to shed light on the issue of Jerusalem and to explain its role and the extent of its impact on the political situation between Egypt and Turkey. In 1947, the Palestinian issue was referred to the United Nations, which formed a committee known as the Ensop Committee that issued the partition decision, and here the divergent positions between Turkey and Egypt began. The committee that approved the partition decision made Jerusalem under the international trusteeship system. The Turkish position tended to be moderate and follow a policy in line with British policy and try to balance its relations with Israel and the West. Despite the United Nations presenting a project that prevents the Arabs and Israel from making Jerusalem the capital of both parties, this aroused the ire of the Arabs and Israel, especially Egypt, as its leaders expressed that Turkey's relationship with Israel has become an unpopular country among the countries of the Middle East. This conflict may result in tension in Turkish-Egyptian relations.
