Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday accused Israel of committing “terrorist acts” in its nearly week-long conflict with Hamas militants located in the Gaza Strip, Reuters reports.
“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 during a conference in Istanbul. “For this reason, I say that Israel is a terrorist state, and its acts are terrorist acts.”
The health ministry in Gaza on Monday reported that the Palestinian death toll had reached 91 in the last six days of fighting.
