The U.N. General Assembly in New York City in September, when Erdogan was the only world leader to allude to Gaza in his speech. He also told reporters that “there should be accountability for anyone guilty of war crimes in Gaza.
” Days earlier, Davutoglu had canceled a trip to Israel after being refused permission to visit the Gaza Strip. “Not being allowed to visit Gaza was the last straw,” says Sahin Alpay, a political science professor at Bahcesehir University in Istanbul. “That, combined with the Gaza attacks last year and the [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu government’s refusal to freeze settlement activity in the West Bank — they all added up.”
This from a country that has rules of not mixing religion with politics is very telling. especially for a country that in the past had looked away at Israels War crimes.
