In a show of solidarity with the Palestinians amid the war between Israel and Hamas, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan attends a mass rally in Istanbul that was organized by his ruling party.
Addressing the demonstration, Erdogan claims Western powers are “the main culprit” behind the Israeli army’s “massacre” of Palestinians in Gaza.
“The main culprit behind the massacre unfolding in Gaza is the West,” Erdogan tells the several hundred thousand protesters.
