‘You are writing history with your bloody hands’; Erdogan condemns US approval of arms sales to Israel

According to details, the Turkish president severely criticized US for supporting Israel in its violence towards innocent Palestinians.

“You are writing history with your bloody hands in this incident that is a serious disproportionate attack on Gaza, which is leading to the martyrdom of hundreds of thousands of people. You forced me to say this,” he said referring to US.

Condemning Austria for flying an Israeli flag over the federal chancellery in Vienna, Erdogan said that the state of Austria is trying to make Muslims pay the price for the Jews it subjected to genocide.

Human rights group Amnesty has also condemned US plans to sell weapons to Israel.

“By supplying weapons that could be used to commit war crimes, the US government is taking the risk of fueling further attacks against civilians and seeing more people killed or injured by US weapons,” Philippe Nassif, Amnesty International USA’s advocacy director for the Middle East and North Africa, said in a statement urging Biden to reconsider the decision.

United States President Joe Biden has approved the sale of precision-guided missiles to Israel on Monday.

The arms sales to Israel by the Biden administration were notified to Congress on May 5, a week before current Israel’s bombardment on Palestine began. Washington plans to provide Israel with Joint Direct Attack Munitions.

These weapons can turn so-called "dumb bombs" into precision-guided missiles, an international newspaper wrote.

The proposed sale could be halted by the House Democrats as Washington’s support for Israel has increasingly come under scrutiny, particularly among the progressive caucus, the report said.

The latest escalation of tensions between Israel and Hamas, which governs Gaza, has now entered its second week. So far 212 Palestinians, including 61 children, have been killed since the and more than 1,500 are wounded.
