Tyrkias statsminister Recep Tayyip Erdogan rettet voldsomme angrep mot Israel i nasjonalforsamlingen tirsdag. Han sa Israel var ansvarlig for et blodbad og måtte straffes.

Erdogan called the raid a «bloody massacre,» and warned «no one should test Turkey’s patience.»

He told lawmakers in the Turkish parliament that «this bloody massacre by Israel on ships that were taking humanitarian aid to Gaza deserves every kind of curse and called the Israeli action an attack on international law, the conscience of humanity and world peace.

«Israel’s behavior should definitely, definitely be punished,» a visibly angry Erdogan told the meeting of his parliamentary deputies, adding: «The time has come for the international community to say ‘enough’.»

Erdogan also urged the immediate lifting of «the inhumane embargo on Gaza.»
