Hamas political bureau chief Ismail Haneyya has blasted recent criticisms of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“A criminal and killer of children should not give lessons on humanity” Haneyya told Anadolu Agency on Tuesday referring to the Israeli premier.
“Those who pursue terrorism and injustice in Palestine should not criticize those who support the oppressed all over the world” he added.
In a raft of Sunday tweets Netanyahu attacked Erdogan over Turkey’s ongoing counter-terrorism efforts in the country’s southeast and the Cyprus issue.
Haneyya attributed Netanyahu’s hostile remarks to “panic” on the part of the Israeli PM who he said is facing “a global boycott” of Israel and “a torrent of graft allegations”.
