Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Saturday called out Western powers as "the main culprit" behind Israel's "massacre" of Palestinians in Gaza.
The call came during the "Great Palestine Meeting" held in Istanbul, which was joined by over 1.5 million people, according to the organizers.
President Erdoğan, who has been a leading international supporter of Palestinian rights, unleashed a scathing attack at Israel and its Western supporters.
"The main culprit behind the massacre unfolding in Gaza is the West," he told the Turkish and Palestinian flag-waving crowd.

When did Erdoğan decry the slaughter of Israeli civilians - women and children? I missed that.
I have a pet peeve about selective mimicry of foreign languages.
If you say “Mumbai” and “Cote d’Ivoire”, but don’t say “Deutschland” and “Italia”, you are privileging certain foreigners over others.
Forget “Türkiye” until you use “România”.
I guess no Muslims can remember back as far as October 7th and realize why this is happening. Memories like a goldfish.
The Erdoğan spelling is in the thread title and article. Nothing more selective than that.
Maybe he might accept all of the unwanted Palestinians.
. . . and rrrrrrrrroll their “Rs”.
Churchill found out about that in 1915.
Or Polska.
Good gravy, I am so over these people. All the Palestinians have to do is come to the table and participate in talks. They also should be reasonable in their needs and what they demand. But they won’t. They want it all! To me, that negates anything the Palestinians wants. AND they voted in Hamas to lead them, which also tells the world they are not willing to negotiate.
What a shame, because actually Turkey does great TV shows, I’ve started watching a few of them. And the actresses are gorgeous.
Realize this time, they won't stop at the Gates of Vienna.
What's his FR nick?
Would this Turkish President admit that the Armenians were slaughtered under his predecessors administration?
Like most fundamentalist Muslim politicians Erdogan is vying for a leading role among all Muslims, that’s what Muslim fundamentalist theocrat types do. Does he actually give a dam about “Palestinians”? No. He’s using their situation to try to boost his own image among Muslims, that’s all it is.
Gee I dont remember this prick saying anything when Hamas butchered, burned alive, beheaded, 1400+ Israeli’s..he had no comment then
Turkey is required by its laws to maintain a secular government.
My son in law is from Turkey, a Catholic, and VERY American and pro-Trump. He wasn’t particularly happy about Erdogan being reelected.
Unfortunately the muslim majority has been riled up by Hamas, etc. Not good at all. If FJB doesn’t get us into WWIII we’ll be very lucky.
RE: “INNOCENT CHILDREN” in GAZA.
Women in GAZA have an AVERAGE of 8.3 kids EACH.
That hatred runs thru the veins of every Muslim Leader and their people....as well for th USA.
A secular government does not last in the long term when the population is Islamic.
