Erdogan: We will not tolerate co-operation with Israel within NATO

Although the agenda at the NATO summit was dominated by the war in Ukraine, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan saw it as an opportunity to urge Western powers to do more to bring an end to Israel’s attacks in Gaza. Our diplomatic correspondent Andrew Hopkins reports from Washington DC.

uk and usa complicity in this even after 9 months is sickening

[TheGeorgeous]

Its a shame he has to say this.
Other members of the NATO should condemn Israel

[starcheese]

At least Erdogan is speaking out. Everyone else is silent.

[RfQsheo]

NATO countries are only concerned about Ukraine due to their economic interests in Ukraine.

[YakrifZee]

I just wish he casts his words into action.

Zelensky upholding his image so pathetically, donning cargo pants and a sweatshirt. That guy is a laughing stock!

[mochawitch]

Meanwhile you're still doing trade with them. It's good you're calling NATO out, but you can stop dealing with them too

[babs-pe]

Thanks him, the only one speaking up!

Selensky is the biggest fake, this ex acteur...

[smesui]

Turkiye will leave nato, and will leave it weaker.

[th_Disciple]

What is the point of NATO? To protect Europe or Israel?

[Nkay]

Cant Zelensky buy a suit, or at least borrow Blinken’s for a day?

[Coolboyandcoolthings]

NATO cooperates with Israel but not with Russia 🙂 double standards on it's highest form

[honestman]

Those Israeli supporters from gulf should learn from him.

Talk is cheap Erdogan. Turkey, as a NATO country, has been aiding and supporting Israel still today. This while Yemen has been exerting economic pressure on the terrorist regime. Even earlier has Turkey supported Al Qaeda and Isis in Syria against the Syrian people and government. Turkey even occupies parts of Syria today.

As usual all talk but no action Turkey

[CosainUsman-uwys]

Action matter than talking Mr Edrogan!

While I am horrified by the dehumanization and crimes committed against the children of Gaza, I cannot pretend I am unaware that Erdogan is not exactly a true defender of Human Rights for all, and is not beyond invading and bombing Kurdish territories. It is ironic though that Erdogan remains the one who speaks most clearly and courageously against what is being done continuously to Gaza; he is not a man of peace, at all, yet here he chooses to be on the side of justice. Oddly enough, though I honestly dislike Erdogan for his own past crimes, I see he is more honest than the Western hypocrites (I am Canadian myself).

Nato member some are good, some are bad and a few evil.
