Turkey says Israel turning into ‘racist, apartheid regime’ with annexation plans

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s “embarrassing” plan to annex the Jordan Valley is a “despicable” attempt to strengthen his position ahead of this week’s election.

“Israel, encouraged by the support of certain countries, is continuing its aggressive policies that are turning it into a racist, apartheid regime,” he says, according to a Reuters translation of a report in the state-run Anadolu news agency.
