Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmed Daoud Oglo said at a Washington conference that his country would not stand for "the additional Israeli acts of slaughter in the Gaza Strip".
Syrian news agencies quoted Oglo as saying, "Israel did not only commit a serious mistake with its aggression in Gaza, but also a crime with its use of phosphorous shells. We will no longer stand for any acts of slaughter performed in our region." (Roee Nahmias)
