Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan continued his criticism of Israel’s operations against Hamas in Gaza on Sunday evening, saying it is “using terrorism.”

Speaking at a campaign event, Erdogan said Israel is “using terrorism” in Gaza, the Arab version of the Turkish website Anadolu Agency reported in its title on Sunday. However, the English version of the news website used more mild language, not using the word “terrorism.”

“As long as bombardment continues, you will be alone Netanyahu!” the English titled said.

“Israel is dropping 400 tons of bombs on our brothers, not chickpeas…to agree with brutality is brutality itself,” said the Turkish prime minister.

“We cannot normalize (relations). First, this cruelty must end,” he was quoted as saying on Thursday.

Jordan King Abdullah also harshly criticized Israel in a conversation with UN chief Ban Ki-moon.
