The country’s longest-serving leader reportedly also called Hamas freedom fighters this week.
Turkey’s president Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s criticism of Western nations’ support for Jerusalem drew sharp rebukes from Italy and Israel.
Turkey has condemned Israeli civilian deaths caused by Hamas’ Oct 7 rampage through southern Israel, but Erdogan this week called the Palestinian group “freedom fighters”. Sinan Ulgen, a former Turkish diplomat and director of the Centre for Economic and Foreign Policy Studies, an Istanbul-based think tank, said Gaza’s worsening humanitarian crisis and pressure from political allies had prompted Erdogan to sharpen his rhetoric.
Modern Turkey’s 100th anniversary comes tomorrow when newspaper headlines could be dominated by news of today’s rally rather than celebrations of the republic’s founder, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, analysts say.
