"I strongly condemn the Israeli administration for this inhumane attack", these were the words of condemnation by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan during a speech delivered on TV in Istanbul, referring to yesterday's clashes between the Israeli army and the Palestinian protesters who claimed life at Palestinian 16.
Erdogan, turning to the members of his party, added: "Did you by any chance hear those who criticize us because of our operation in Afrin making the slightest objection to the massacre committed by Israel in Gaza yesterday?", He continued, turning to members of his party. "I asked President Trump yesterday:" will not you intervene? ". "It is the greatest proof of the duplicity of those who fix their eyes on us but say nothing to Israel that attacks with heavy weapons people who manifest on their lands in Gaza".
Turkey has been criticized by Western allies for the military operation launched in the Syrian area of Afrin against the People's Protection Units (JPG), Kurdish militia considered "terrorist" by Ankara, but allied with Washington in the fight against ISIS.
