Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan renewed his criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech in the US Congress, stating that he was ashamed of that speech on behalf of humanity.
Erdogan’s statements came during his participation in a meeting with representatives of civil society organizations in the northeastern Turkish province of Rize on Saturday.
Erdogan said in this regard: “A few days ago, we all witnessed those disgraceful scenes in the US House of Representatives. Frankly, we were ashamed on behalf of humanity of what we saw there.”
Erdogan explained that rolling out the red carpet for someone like Netanyahu and applauding his lies constitutes a major mental lapse for America.
He added: “When we see those who applaud (in Congress) the killer of 40,000 innocent people, we are not only worried about humanity but also about our future.”

He continued: “Who can guarantee that those who destroyed Gaza today will not turn their dirty eyes to Anatolia in the future?”
At the same time, the Turkish Grand National Assembly approved a motion on Saturday describing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to the US Congress as a “disgrace.
” The motion stressed that Netanyahu had taken the decades-long unjust occupation and gross violations of the law in Palestine to an unprecedented level through a brutal ethnic cleansing campaign in Gaza, and that his speech to Congress “went down in history as a disgrace.
” It said: “We, the Turkish Grand National Assembly (parliament), announce that we have met with regret this democratic disgrace.”
