Answering journalists' questions after Friday prayers, AKP Chairman and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made assessments regarding the tension between Iran and Israel.
Erdoğan stated the following:
"Right now, Israel is saying different things, and Iran is putting forward different views in the same way. There is no ownership, and there is really no explanation that isn't mind-boggling regarding the issue. You cannot say 'they are telling the truth' about the statements made by Iran, and you cannot say that at all for Israel. You cannot say that at all for Israel anyway. Meanwhile, they are putting America forward. In the statements made by America, there are remarks like 'we had news of it, we didn't'.
"WE WEREN'T EXPECTING ANYTHING DIFFERENT ANYWAY"
And more importantly, we see that America has taken Israel's side in the recent statements made at the United Nations Security Council, and while everyone else is taking Palestine's side, America unfortunately reveals its stance here by taking Israel's side again. We weren't expecting anything different anyway.
