FM bashes European silence on Erdogan

Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman Wednesday calls Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan an “anti-Semitic neighborhood bully” and accused Europe of contributing to increasing anti-Semitism on the continent by ignoring Erdogan’s recent anti-Israel statements.

In a wide-ranging foreign policy address, Liberman also predicts a “significant strategic breakthrough” between Israel and moderate Arab states by the end of the year, yet says that no advancement on the peace process was possible as long as Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas remains in power.
