Erdogan: Countries supporting Israel are 'accessories' to its crimes

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said that states "providing unconditional support to Israel" are "accessories to its crimes".

"They are accomplices to their crimes in the massacres and pogroms perpetrated against the civilian population of Gaza," Erdogan said, adding that Israel must be "prevented from plunging the whole region into war".

He made the comments at a press briefing, alongside his Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah el-Sisi who is visiting Ankara.
