Erdogan Blasts Israel in Mideast Tour, Plans Gaza Visit
Erdogan’s new, hostile approach to Israel has won him fans throughout the Arab world. During his trip to Lebanon, he was given a leadership award from the Union of Arab Banks. He will soon travel to Libya, where Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi plans to give him the Distinguished Statesman award.
Erdogan is currently leading an international online poll to choose Time Magazine’s Person of the Year. The magazine noted that Erdogan has accused Israel of “inhumane state terrorism” and stated that under Erdogan “Turkey displayed a newfound willingness to flex its diplomatic muscle.”
Let’s watch him work. Trying to build Pan-Arab coalition, and make Turkey into a thriving economy.
