“Given the serious allegations coming out of Turkey, I have ordered diplomatic representatives to return to reassess the relationship between Israel and Turkey,” Cohen wrote.
What did Erdogan say?
A large-scale rally in support of the Palestinians was held in Istanbul. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan arrived by helicopter. During his speech to the protesters, the Turkish president said that the world is silently watching the deaths of thousands of innocent children in the Gaza Strip.
Erdogan also emphasized that the West is responsible for the fighting in Israel. He agrees with the position that every state has the right to self-defense, but justice is needed. Therefore, in his opinion, Israel is an occupier in the case of the Gaza Strip.
“There is a massacre in Gaza. And this is entirely the work of the West… Israel, how did you end up here? How did you get here? You are an occupier. You are a group, not a state. The West owes you, but Turkey doesn’t owe you,” Erdogan summarized.
Let us recall that on October 28, the media wrote that Israel had sent troops into the Gaza Strip.
Also on October 27, TsAGAL announced the expansion of ground operations in the Gaza Strip.
