Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan says US President Donald Trump’s plan to displace Palestinians from Gaza poses a major threat to world peace.
Speaking on Indonesian television broadcaster Narasi, Erdogan addresses Trump’s plan to remove the more than 2 million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, claim US control of it and turn it into the “Riviera of the Middle East.”
“I view Trump’s decision to make such an agreement with a murderer like [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu and his threats as a major threat to world peace,” Erdogan says.
“At the moment, nobody can take Gaza away from Palestinians, from Gazans. Daring to do something like is, firstly, a very different threat to world peace.”
Erdogan also says he doesn’t find Trump’s statements, amounting to what he calls “challenges to many countries in the world,” to be correct.
“My hope is that such mistakes are reversed as soon as possible, and for a global giant like the United States to rapidly turn back from these errors so that global peace can find a way to come out,” he says.
