“ O the most recent country to become a great spreader of anti-Semitic lies is Turkey,” said the Israeli leader during his speech at the 81st general debate of the United Nations.
Netanyahu also accused the Turkish leader of holding “the world record” of arresting journalists and opposition leaders, denying genocide in Armenia, illegally occupying northern Cyprus, wanting to take over Syria – a country bordering Israel – and wanting to rule Jerusalem.
