Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has lashed out at Israel after Donald Trump decided to recognise Jerusalem as the Jewish state’s capital.
Erdogan described the nation as a ‘terrorist state’ and a ‘killer of children’ in remarks on Sunday as fresh clashes erupted in the West Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem.
The Muslim leader also vowed to use ‘all means’ to reverse Trump’s decision, which was announced earlier this week.
He said: Palestine is an innocent victim… As for Israel, it is a terrorist state, yes, terrorist!
‘We will not abandon Jerusalem to the mercy of a state that kills children.’
Erdogan also blasted Israel and Trump in a speech on Saturday, calling it a ‘state of occupation’ and saying the US President had ‘unleashed conflict’.
He said: ‘Trump seeks to move forwards by saying “there we go, I did it, it’s done!”. I’m sorry but… being strong does not give you such a right.
‘The leaders of major countries have a mission to make peace.’
