Turkish foreign minister calls Israel’s decision to expand occupation in Gaza ‘destructive mentality’

“Netanyahu government’s latest decision to expand its occupation of Gaza is yet another manifestation of the same expansionist and destructive mentality,” the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement last night. 

In the statement, the ministry also called on Israel to “put an end to its irresponsible actions aimed at dragging the entire region into an all-out conflict” as well as the international community who “must not remain silent.”
