A motion proposing the annulment of economic, military and political agreements between Turkey and Israel was voted down by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and its ultra-nationalist ally the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), in Parliament on Tuesday, the T24 news website reported.
The motion was submitted by the pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP).
“A motion for parliamentary evaluation of the annulment of all political, economic and military agreements and the imposition of economic sanctions on Israel has been rejected by the votes of the AKP and MHP,” the HDP tweeted.
“AKP to continue with Israel,” said main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) deputy Ali Şeker in a tweet, underlining the gap between the words and deeds of the ruling party concerning Israeli and Palestine policy.
Meanwhile, Israel Agriculture Minister Uri Ariel ordered freezing import of agricultural products from Turkey, following the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador from Ankara and statements made by Turkish President Erdoğan, Israelnationalnews.com reported on Tuesday.
According to the report, Minister Ariel said, “We won’t tolerate a country that preaches morality to the State of Israel with such hypocrisy. The security forces and the IDF soldiers fearlessly protect the residents of Israel.”
Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım on Tuesday called on Muslim countries to review their ties with Israel, a day after Israeli security forces killed more than 60 Palestinians during protests on the Gaza border.
President Erdoğan on Monday called Israel a “terror state” and added that “the assault on the Gaza protesters exposed Israel’s ugly face, one that is carrying out genocide in Gaza.”
Erdoğan on Tuesday tweeted “Netanyahu is the PM of an apartheid state that has occupied a defenseless people’s lands for 60+ yrs in violation of UN resolutions. He has the blood of Palestinians on his hands and can’t cover up crimes by attacking Turkey. Want a lesson in humanity? Read the 10 commandments.”
Ankara on Tuesday recalled its ambassadors from Washington and Tel Aviv to hold an extraordinary summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Istanbul on May 18.
In İstanbul on Monday, thousands protested the recent developments in Palestine. (SCF with turkishminute.com)
