ANKARA: Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan denounced Israel as a"cruel terrorist state" in a speech in Ankara on Saturday in which he referred to recent police clashes with Palestinians in Jerusalem.
"Israel, the cruel terrorist state, attacks the Muslims in Jerusalem - whose only concern is to protect their homes ... and their sacred values - in a savage manner devoid of ethics," Erdogan said. He urged all countries, in particular Muslim countries, to react and called on the United Nations to"stop this persecution"."We strongly condemn the abominable attacks against the Al-Aqsa mosque... which are unfortunately carried out every Ramadan," he wrote, referring to the Muslim month of fasting.
On Friday, Turkey's foreign minister called on the Israeli government to end its"aggressive and provocative" policy against Palestinians.Around 300 people demonstrated Saturday outside the Israeli consulate in Istanbul in support of the Palestinians in Jerusalem.
