Claims of Citizenship Granted to Palestinians in Jerusalem Are Unfounded

It was announced that the claim "Turkey's consulate in Jerusalem grants citizenship to Palestinians" shared on some social media accounts is completely unfounded.

Embassies, permanent representations, consulates general, embassy-consular branches, honorary consulates general and honorary consulates do not have the authority to grant citizenship. "Do not believe the unfounded claims."
