He also condemned “Israelis who oppress Palestinians and spill blood at Al-Aqsa Complex in Jerusalem.”
“These cowards who spray bullets at innocent children and babies will live with shame forever” Yildirim added.
At least 65 Palestinians were killed by Israeli gunfire during protests in eastern Gaza on May 14. Thousands more were injured.
