Erdoğan condemns Israel's attack against Global Sumud Flotilla
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on May 18 condemned Israel’s "piracy and banditry" against the Global Sumud Flotilla "in the strongest terms."
Addressing the nation after a Cabinet meeting in Ankara, Erdoğan said Israel’s attacks on the aid mission will not stop international solidarity with Palestinians, or the pursuit of justice.
He urged the global community to act against Israel’s "lawless actions."
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on May 18 also condemned the attack, during a joint press conference with his German counterpart Johann Wadephul in Berlin.
