Turkey's prime minister has vowed support for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip during the current military conflict between Israel and the Hamas, the Newsvine website reports today (November 17, 2012).
Recep Tayyip Erdogan described Egypt's uprising that ousted longtime autocratic leader Hosni Mubarak from power last year as a point of hope for Palestinians. The Turkish leader delivered his remarks in a speech at Cairo University today.
Erdogan also met with President Mohammed Morsi in Cairo for the first time since the Egyptian Islamist leader was elected last June.
Meanwhile, hundreds of people protested today outside the Arab League headquarters in Cairo -- where Arab foreign ministers are meeting to discuss Israel's expanded fierce air assault on rocket operations in Gaza -- which is run by the Islamic militant Hamas group.
