Türkiye slams Israeli foreign minister over his remarks targeting Turkish president

ISTANBUL 

Türkiye on Tuesday slammed the Israeli foreign minister for targeting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

“The Israeli Foreign Minister has made a habit to make banal statements full of slander and lies targeting Türkiye and our President,” a Turkish Foreign Ministry statement said.

This came after Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz targeted Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in social media posts.

“For some time now, the person in question cannot be taken seriously,” the Turkish Foreign Ministry statement said.

It said that Türkiye will continue to support the Palestinians in the “strongest possible way.”
