Ankara: Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has condemned United States (US) President Joe Biden’s approval of weapons sales to Israel.
According to details, the Turkish president severely criticized US for supporting Israel in its violence towards innocent Palestinians.
“You are writing history with your bloody hands in this incident that is a serious disproportionate attack on Gaza, which is leading to the martyrdom of hundreds of thousands of people. You forced me to say this,” he said referring to US.
Condemning Austria for flying an Israeli flag over the federal chancellery in Vienna, Erdogan said that the state of Austria is trying to make Muslims pay the price for the Jews it subjected to genocide.
Human rights group Amnesty has also condemned US plans to sell weapons to Israel.
“By supplying weapons that could be used to commit war crimes, the US government is taking the risk of fueling further attacks against civilians and seeing more people killed or injured by US weapons,” Philippe Nassif, Amnesty International USA’s advocacy director for the Middle East and North Africa, said in a statement urging Biden to reconsider the decision.
United States President Joe Biden has approved the sale of precision-guided missiles to Israel on Monday.
