A top Turkish official has claimed that Israel is committing acts of terrorism by bombing Hamas targets in Gaza, the Europe News website reports today (November 20, 2012).
Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan told the Eurasian Islamic Council conference in Istanbul that the Jewish state is systematically mass-killing Muslims.
"Those who associate Islam with terrorism close their eyes in the face of mass killing of Muslims, turn their heads from the massacre of children in Gaza," Erdogan said. "For this reason, I say that Israel is a terrorist state, and its acts are terrorist acts."
The conflict in Gaza between Israel and Hamas escalated on November 14, as a result of an Israeli airstrike that killed the Hamas military commander, Ahmed Jabari.
