Turkey’s Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan called Israel a terrorist state because of its offensive in Gaza and said he does not trust the United Nations because it lacks a Muslim voice.
Some delegates listening to Erdogan speak at an Islamic conference in Istanbul today burst into applause when he attacked Israel and accused the UN of bias. Turkey is one of a number of Islamic states seeking to broker a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip and end exchanges of fire that have killed 96 Palestinians and three Israelis since last week.
