Israel is not conducting itself “like a state” in the Gaza Strip, Turkey’s president says as Israel pounded the territory after a Hamas onslaught.
“Israel should not forget that if it acts more like an organization rather than a state, it’ll finish by being treated as such,” Recep Tayyip Erdogan says, attacking “shameful methods” of the Israeli army in the densely populated Gaza Strip.
Erdogan’s comments come in the same speech where he vows to intensify strikes against Kurdish fighters in Syria and Iraq.
Turkey has been bombing sites in northeast Syria since Thursday, hitting civilian and military targets and infrastructure and causing casualties, according to Kurdish authorities.
