Turkey vows to defend, stand with Palestinians

Turkey will defend Palestinian rights and stand with Palestinians, the country's communications director said early Tuesday.

Referring to the Israeli attacks on Palestinians and Al-Aqsa Mosque, Fahrettin Altun posted a series of tweets with photos showing Israeli attacks.

"Imagine a state that steals and occupies land. Imagine innocent civilians denied basic human rights. Imagine women, children, and elderly harassed daily. Imagine the human dignity of a people violated," he said.
