Turkey rejects Netanyahu’s ‘baseless accusations’ at UN
Benjamin Netanyahu had called Turkey's president Recep Tayyip Erdogan a 'tyrant' during a fiery speech at the UN, accusing Ankara of harbouring Hamas militant leaders.
At the United Nations, Turkey rejected Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's "baseless accusations" during his speech. The Israeli leader had called President Recep Tayyip Erdogan a "tyrant," accusing Ankara of harboring Hamas militant leaders. The assembly erupted in uproar as dozens of envoys left the chamber, some jeering and booing.
Netanyahu's address, which denounced various enemies and allies, caused further dismay, with his own team applauding. Turkey's state-run news agency, Anadolu, quoted the Turkish presidency's communications director Burhanettin Duran, condemning Netanyahu's allegations as "incompatible with UN values." Duran emphasized that Netanyahu's use of the UN General Assembly to make baseless accusations against Turkey and Erdogan was inconsistent with the ideals of peace, law, and dialogue embodied by the UN.
