Erdogan Says Israel Will be Held to Account for Gaza

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday that Israel would be held to account for the children among 40 people dead in three days of air strikes on Gaza.

"Everyone must know that sooner or later there will be a holding to account for the massacre of these innocent children killed inhumanely in Gaza," he said in a speech at Cairo University.

Erdogan, who had earlier met President Mohamed Morsi, has blamed Israel for the latest round of fighting around the Gaza Strip.

The United States wants both Turkey and Egypt to pressure Gaza's Hamas rulers to stop firing rockets into Israel.

Erdogan the great democrat.
Remember the Armenian massacre.
Remember all the soldiers and airforce which cross the border into Iraq almost on a daily basis to attack and murder Kurds.
And he has the nerve to complain about Israel defending its own citizens.

Erdogan runs around threatening everyone, one moment is a friend, next he's your worst enemy. He concerns me. I don't think he should be in any political office. He stirs trouble with everyone. Hamas is to blame for the deaths. They began the attack and started all of this. So tired of hearing these people point the finger after they were obviously the ones who start the fights every time. Then they cry pointing the finger at israel saying, Look what they did to us! And if they aren't fighting israel, they are fighting themselves. I shake my head watching tv over their out of control tantrums.
