Israel carried out ‘genocide’ and is a ‘terror state,’ says Erdoğan

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan called the actions of the Israeli forces a "genocide" and Israel a "terror state" after Israeli troops shot dead dozens of Palestinian protesters on the Gaza border as the United States opened its embassy to Israel in Jerusalem. In the bloodiest single day for Palestinians since 2014, Palestinian Health Ministry officials said 59 protesters were killed and 2,700 injured either by live gunfire, tear gas or other means.
