Commander Sees Israel’s Apology to Turkey as “New US Game”
TEHRAN (FNA)- Tel Aviv’s recent apology to Ankara is a US game to undermine the anti-Israel resistance movement in the region, a senior Iranian commander said on Saturday.
The Zionist regime’s apology to Turkey is a new game by the United States, the Israeli regime and Turkey to further affect resistance (movement) in the region, the Islamic Awakening in particular, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces for Basij and Defense Culture Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri said.
He pointed to Israel’s savage raid on the Gaza aid convoy in 2010, and stated that the shock caused by the Zionists’ attack on a Gaza-bound international aid flotilla created a special position for Turkey in regional equations.
The Zionist regime troops stormed a flotilla of ships on May 31, 2010 killing a number of human rights activists on board.
The ships were sailing under the Turkish flag. A number of foreign activists and officials were among passengers of the ships.
The Iranian commander further stated that the global arrogance mainly moves to find a replacement for the Islamic Republic of Iran in the Muslim world.
“The elite of the Muslim world should remain vigilant and pay the necessary heed to the issue and do not allow the Americans and their allies to humiliate the public opinion.”
On Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a full resumption of diplomatic ties with Turkey after making an apology to his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan for the deaths of nine Turkish activists in the deadly 2010 flotilla attack.
Netanyahu also accepted Ankara’s demand for compensation to be paid to the families of the nine victims.
