Turkey’s deputy premier condemns Israel’s killing of Fatima Hajiji

Wednesday 10-May-2017

Turkish deputy premier Numan Kurtulmus has condemned the Israeli occupation state for cold-bloodedly killing 16-year-old Fatima Hajiji last Sunday.

In recent Twitter remarks Kurtulmus reiterated Turkey’s rejection of Israel’s persistent occupation of the Palestinian territories and its unjust practices against the Palestinian people.

He stressed that Turkey would continue to defend the just rights and demands of the Palestinian people despite the international silence on Israel’s violations against them.

The Turkish official said that Israel’s soldiers do not abide by the international law and showed their hatred once again by killing a child affirming such injustice would certainly end one day.

Fatima Hajiji was shot dead in cold-blood by Israeli policemen last Sunday in Bab al-Amud area of Jerusalem’s Old City.

The Israeli police justified its soldiers’ crime by claiming the teenager wanted to carry out a stabbing attack against them.

Hajiji was a resident of the Qarawat Bani Zeid village in the Ramallah and Bireh province.
