The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Israel has called Turkish
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s statement on Hamas harsh, RIA Novosti writes,
quoting Spokesperson for the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs Lior Haiat.
“Israel wholeheartedly rejects the Turkish President’s harsh
words about the terrorist organization Hamas. Even the Turkish president’s
attempt to defend the terrorist organization and his inciting words will not
change the horrors that the whole world has seen,” Haiat said.
