Turkey’s Foreign Ministry condemns Israel’s Friday airstrikes in Lebanon, saying they are evidence of Israel’s “flagrant disregard for international law and its ongoing threat to the region’s security and stability.”
Firing back, Israel’s Foreign Ministry accuses Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of “violently suppressing his own citizens and carrying out mass arrests of political opponents.”
“In Erdogan’s Turkey, there is no justice, no law, and no freedom,” says Israel, adding that Israel will continue to defend itself and its citizens.
