ANKARA (Reuters) -Muslim nations must act in unison and rally international opposition against Israel's plan to take control of Gaza City, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Saturday after talks in Egypt.

The Israeli security cabinet approved Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's proposal to take over the Palestinian city, the Prime Minister's Office confirmed early on Friday. US officials from both the Democratic and Republican parties have voiced either opposition or concern on Friday for Israel's planned operation to take over Gaza City.
