At a joint press conference with Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyiğ Erdoğan lashed out at Israel on Monday, accusing it of threatening peace in the region and using disproportionate force against Palestinians.
He urged Israel to stop violating Lebanon’s airspace and territorial waters and called on the U.N. Security Council to mount the same pressure on Israel as it does on Iran over nuclear armament.
“As Turkey, we can never remain silent in the face of Israel’s attitude … It has disproportionate power and it is using that at will while refusing to abide by U.N. resolutions,” Erdoğan said. “We can never accept this picture.”
For his part, Hariri leveled criticism at Israel and described the Jewish state as an enemy that threatens Lebanon’s security.
