The Turkish Defence Ministry on Tuesday criticised Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent comments about Ankara’s hard-line policy toward the Kurds, calling them “slander,” Anadolu news agency reported on Tuesday.
The Turkish Defence Ministry on Tuesday rejected Netanyahu’s statement as “baseless and deluded,” stressing that those responsible for the killing of Palestinian children could not criticise the Turkish army, according to the Anadolu news agency.
On Sunday, Netanyahu criticised Turkey’s army for “massacring” Kurdish women and children, calling Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan the “anti-Semitic dictator.” The prime minister’s comments came a day after Erdogan accused the Israeli prime minister of committing “state terror” against the Palestinian people.
