Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe foreign ministry rejects Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s criticism of Israel’s treatment of its Muslim minority as “baseless slander.”
“Anyone who systemically violates human rights in their own country should not preach about morality to the only genuine democracy in the region,” the ministry says in a statement.
“Israel strictly adheres to protecting full freedom of worship for Jews, Muslims and Christians — and will continue to do so despite this baseless slander,” the statement says.
