Administration of the Turkish president criticizes Washington

The Turkish presidential administration has criticized Washington after the United States assessed the bombing of the Gaza Strip as defense.

The statement came from the Director of the Media Relations Department of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's administration, Fahrettin Altun, on Twitter.

"Massacre of civilians. Forcing Palestinians to leave their homes and occupy their lands. Attack on mosques. Murder of innocent children, since when are these crimes assessed as defense? Does the US have any reaction to this massacre and terrorist acts?" Altun wrote.
