Turkish president slams Israel's 'Jewish nation-state' law

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday slammed a controversial Israeli law, which calls it a ‘Jewish nation-state’.

"This regulation is evidence that, without doubt, Israel is the most Zionist, fascist and racist state of the world," Erdogan said in his party's parliamentary group meeting, Anadolu Agency reported.

"I call on the Islamic world, Christian world, all democratic and liberal states, non-governmental organizations, and media members to move against Israel," he added.

Last week, the Knesset approved the law, which describes the usurper regime of Israel as “the nation-state of the Jewish people".

The legislation further states that a so-called “united Jerusalem” is the capital of the illegal Zionist entity ‘Israel’ and that Hebrew is the country's official language, stripping Arabic of its earlier designation as an official language, while recognizing its “special status".

It was approved by a vote of 62-55 in a tumultuous assembly session in which Arab lawmakers decried what they called “Israeli racism against the Arab minority".

The child-killer regime’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has hailed the legislation, describing its passage as a “defining moment for Zionism and Israel".

Ankara has denounced the legislation for trying to strip Palestinians of their rights.
