Al-Azhar’s Grand Imam Ahmed al-Tayeb cancelled the meeting after President Donald Trump’s move to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, Al-Azhar said Friday.

In a statement, Al-Azhar, Egypt’s highest Sunni institution, said Tayeb had reversed his previous decision to meet Pence, who is due to travel to Egypt and Israel in the second half of December.

Tayeb announced “his categorical rejection of a formal request from US Vice President Mike Pence to meet with him on December 20,” Al-Azhar said.
