PrintTurkey to push U.N. for debate on Gaza report
WASHINGTON (JTA) -- Turkey's prime minister says his country will urge the U.N. Security Council to discuss a report detailing war crimes during Israel's Gaza operation.
"We're in favor of opening discussions on the Goldstone report," Tayyip Erdogan said Saturday. "Whoever is the guilty party, they should be identified and face the necessary sanctions."
