Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Israel of abusing the Palestinian people and lashed President Trump and Persian Gulf nations as “collaborators” during his speech to the United Nations General Assembly Tuesday.
“The Palestinian people have stood up against Israel’s policies of oppression, violence, and intimidation for more than half a century,” Erdogan said, condemning Trump’s peace deal between Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain as a “document of surrender” for the Palestinians. “Israel this time accelerated its attempts to have the inside track with the help of its collaborators. Participation of some countries of the region in this game does not mean anything beyond serving Israel’s efforts to erode basic international parameters.”
