ISTANBUL - Turkey on Sunday criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as"irresponsible" for saying he would annex Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank if he wins Tuesday's election.
"Prime Minister Netanyahu’s irresponsible statement to seek votes just before the Israeli general elections cannot and will not change this fact," Cavusoglu tweeted. "I am going to extend sovereignty and I don't distinguish between settlement blocs and the isolated settlements," he told Israel's Channel 12 News on Saturday.
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan's spokesman echoed those charges on Sunday."Will Western democracies react or will they keep appeasing? Shame on them all!" Ibrahim Kalin tweeted.
