Gaza shows, Israel is main threat to peace in region — Erdogan

AFP reports on Turkish Prime Minister Recep Erdogan:

"Goldstone is a Jew and his report is clear," the Turkish leader told reporters invited to meet him at the Paris Ritz hotel. "It’s not because we are Muslims that we take this position. Our position is humanitarian.

"It’s Israel that is the principal threat to regional peace," said Erdogan speaking in Turkish, through a French interpreter.

And as if to affirm that, here’s the headline in Haaretz:

"Netanyahu: Israel will not be pushed to peace"
