Turkey has condemned Israel for construction in East Jerusalem. Israel is constructing housing, which casts doubts on the real intentions of the country against the background of occupied Palestine. It also violates international law, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said, SalamNews reports.
Illegal construction on Palestinian lands shows that the bid to the UN for recognition of independence was a right and timely action. The Foreign Ministry urges the international community to support Palestinians striving to unite with the government on the west bank of the River Jordan, including Gaza, with their capital in East Jerusalem.
