Erdogan said the international community is not paying the necessary
attention to the tragedy in the Gaza Strip. "Over years Israel has been
attacking civilians of the Gaza Strip, killing peaceful population.
Therefore, I consider Israel a terrorist state."
This was the statement of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan
at the opening of the Eurasian Islamic Council on Monday, Trend reports.
"The death of Muslims in the world, whether in the Gaza Strip, Syria,
Myanmar, does not concern the international community and
international organizations," he said.
On Sunday Israeli air and naval forces continued air strikes on the
Gaza Strip killing tens of Palestinians and threatening to deteriorate
of the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.
In addition, Israel's preparation to bring ground troops
into the Palestinian enclave causes serious concerns.
According to the Palestinian side, some 77 Palestinians, including 21
children and 8 women were killed, and about 700 were injured within
the 'Pillar of cloud' operation, launched on Wednesday in the Gaza
Strip.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas recently reiterated his call on
Arab League to hold emergency summit on the situation in Gaza.
