Turkey slams Trump’s Golan move as ‘election gift’ to Netanyahu
Turkey denounces US President Donald Trump’s recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights as an “election gift” to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“Trump’s signing is virtually an election gift to Netanyahu who is in difficulty ahead of elections,” Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu says during a speech in the southern province of Antalya.
“Whatever you do for (Netanyahu) — who even divides his own people, who bombs in Gaza today as you can see — for this tyrant, there will be no advantages. America’s efforts are in vain,” Cavusoglu says in televised remarks.
