CRITICIZED THE U.S. ON AMERICAN CHANNEL TODAYToday, Erdoğan gave an interview to Keir Simmons from American NBC News, where he once again expressed his reaction to the U.S. for its support of Israel. In his statement criticizing the stance of Western countries towards Israel, Erdoğan said: Unfortunately, many Western countries continue to remain silent in the face of Israel and have not developed a stance against Israel. Unfortunately, there are countries among NATO allies that stand by Israel. We are currently in the U.S., and the U.S. is one of those countries.
