Erdogan said that Palestinian militant group Hamas is not a terrorist organisation but a liberation group
ANKARA - Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday that he was saddened by the United Nations' "inability" to agree on a resolution regarding Israel's bombardment of Gaza and to call for a humanitarian ceasefire there.
Making a speech in parliament to lawmakers from his AK Party, Erdogan called for reform of the United Nations, saying the Security Council needed to be reformed to be more inclusive.
Erdogan said that Palestinian militant group Hamas is not a terrorist organisation but a liberation group waging a battle to protect its land, in a speech to his party's lawmakers in parliament.
Italy's deputy prime minister condemned the words said by Erdogan on, defining them "grave and disgusting".
Matteo Salvini would suggest to Italy's Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani to formally summon the Turkish ambassador to Italy, the deputy PM's office said in a note.
