iirc Turkey has some pretty close arms trade with Israel, but I mean them saying this already places Turkey morally ahead of literally every middle eastern country par Iran and Yemen.

Morally ahead? maybe if they would have said that they would back the Palestinian people instead of hamas leadership.

Anything is better than outright banning Palestinian protests and killing dissenters (cough cough KSA)

Most middle Eastern countries do not have arms trade with Israel. This places them morally ahead of Turkey.

Amazing how you completely contradict yourself in one sentence. Much like Erdogan.
