During an event at an Islamic schools' association near Istanbul yesterday, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan stated that Islamic countries should form an alliance against what he termed "the growing threat of expansionism" from Israel. This statement followed reports of the killing of a Turkish-American woman by an Israeli sniper during a protest against settlement expansion in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Erdogan declared, "The only step that will stop Israeli arrogance, Israeli banditry, and Israeli state terrorism is the alliance of Islamic countries." #FreePalestine #Palestine #solpal #solpalnews #Turkey
