Turkish President
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan once again criticized the applause given to Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu, who committed massacres in Gaza, in the
U.S. Congress.
Erdoğan pointed out, "Rolling out the red carpet for someone like Netanyahu and applauding his lies until their hands are sore is the
eclipse of reason for America. We were ashamed on behalf of humanity of what we witnessed."
President
Erdoğan spoke at the Meeting of Non-Governmental Organizations and Sector Representatives in Rize.
Key points from President Erdoğan's speech:
"The other day, we watched those disgraceful scenes in the
US House of Representatives together. We were ashamed on behalf of humanity in the face of what we saw.
Rolling out the
red carpet for someone like Netanyahu, going much further, and applauding his lies till their hands swell is great mental eclipse for America.
When we see those who applaud the
murderer of 40,000 innocent Gazan people, we worry not only for humanity but also for our own future.
Who can guarantee that those who razed
Gaza to the ground today will not set their dirty eyes on Anatolia tomorrow?
Some political parties say the government should invite the
Palestinian president to Türkiye, have him speak in parliament. Who says we didn't invite him?
We speak out everywhere on behalf of our
Palestinian brothers and sisters. Anyone with even an ounce of humanity in their heart cannot legitimize such heartlessness. This is the Crusader mentality that they want to revive."
