Efkan Ala said:

"It is obvious that the delusions made about our President by Netanyahu, the owner of the policies that turned the region into a bloodbath, are aimed at covering up the crimes they committed. The region should not be allowed to be dragged into a permanent cycle of instability with the policies of Israel under the Netanyahu administration, and the international community should now take a louder stance. As Turkey, we will continue to express the truth."
