Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan didn’t mince words at a rally in Istanbul this weekend, calling Western powers the “main culprit” behind the escalating violence in Gaza. 🔥 “They shed tears for Ukraine but turn a blind eye to Palestine,” he declared, accusing the U.S. and allies of hypocrisy in their handling of global conflicts.
