Turkey condemns Israel's 'excessive' force
Turkey's Foreign Ministry has condemned Israel's "excessive" and "disproportionate" use of force against Palestinians protesting the US decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
In a statement published Saturday, the ministry said Turkey felt "huge sadness and worry" after four people were killed and hundreds injured in Israeli law enforcement's intervention on Palestinians protesting in the "occupied lands."
The statement said the US decision stood contrary to international law and United Nations resolutions on the status of Jerusalem.
