Ankara’s response to remarks aimed at President Recep Tayyip Erdogan by Israel’s Foreign Ministry renewed its pledge to Palestinians and cited his COP31 address, Anadolu Agency reported.
The ministry called the remarks “vile and insolent slander,” Anadolu Agency reported, and said Israeli authorities were trying to hide the facts.
It also cited Erdogan’s opening remarks at the COP31 leaders’ gathering, the U.N. climate conference hosted by Türkiye. The ministry said he had brought attention to what it described as Israel’s systematic oppression and that his views spoke to a conscience shared by humanity.
The ministry said Türkiye would keep supporting people it described as oppressed by Israel’s aggressive policies, especially Palestinians.
