Gantz calls Turkey offensive ‘terror attack’ against Kurds
Blue and White leader Benny Gantz hosts German ambassador Susanne Wasum-Rainer at his Sukkah this afternoon, where he expressed support for Berlin’s efforts to halt the Turkish invasion of Kurdish-held areas of northeastern Syria.
In a Facebook post, Gantz says he told Wasum-Rainer that he appreciates Berlin’s suspending arms sales to Turkey to protest Ankara’s assault against Kurdish forces.
“I stressed to her the urgent humanitarian situation and the danger posed to the Kurds and the urgent need for the international community to apply pressure on Erdogan until he stops this terrorist assault” Gantz says in a Facebook post.
Thank you to Benny Gantz @gantzbe for inviting me to celebrate #Sukkot. It was a great exchange of views on questions of mutual relevance.1/2
