"Israel must be held accountable for the innocent people it slaughtered before international law," he said.
Turkey has recalled its ambassadors from Tel Aviv and Washington and asked Israeli ambassador to Ankara and consul general in Istanbul to leave for a while, with Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim urging Muslim countries to review their ties with Israel following Monday's violence against unarmed Palestinians.
"The cause of Al-Quds is the cause of all Muslims," Erdogan told the OIC meeting, using the Arabic name for Jerusalem. "Al-Quds is too sacred to be abandoned to the mercy of a terror state which has on its hands the blood of tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians."
"What Israel did is a state terror, thuggery and atrocity. We will follow this issue in the United Nations General Assembly as well," he added.
For his part, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani voiced support for the UN General Assembly to hold a special session to "make a judgment about the United States' illegal decision and the Zionist regime's crimes."
"We want to prevent new illegal actions to be taken," he said. "We also want proper political and economic measures to be taken. We propose to impose sanctions on the products of Zionist companies. We want to set up a mechanism to provide aid to Palestinians."
Yousef bin Ahmad Al-Othaimeen, the OIC secretary general, called it an "urgent and fair demand" for an international probe into the killings by Israel, saying "the aggressor should be sanctioned and held accountable."
