Erdogan Speaks Against Israel, Calls it a "Terror State"
Reuters News 09.05.2021
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan called Israel a "terror state" on Saturday after Israeli police used rubber bullets and stun grenades after being attacked by rock-hurling Palestinian terrorists at Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa mosque yesterday.
The clashes in East Jerusalem resulted in the injury of 17 Israeli police officers.
Speaking at an event in Ankara, Erdogan called on all Muslim countries and the international community to take "effective" steps against Israel, adding that those who remain silent were "a party to the cruelty there."
"The cruel Israel, terror state Israel is mercilessly and unethically attacking Muslims in Jerusalem," Erdogan said.
There was no immediate response from Israel's foreign ministry. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement that law and order would be maintained in Jerusalem as would the right to worship.
