Turkey’s presidential spokesman on May 14 criticized Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz for hoisting the Israeli flag on the roof of the chancellery building in Vienna amid attacks on Palestine by the Jewish state.
“This is what encourages Israel to continue its attacks on Palestinian people,” İbrahim Kalın said in a tweet. “I hope those Austrians and Europeans with a sense of reason and morality will reject these disgraceful politics.”
Kurz had tweeted a photo with a caption that read: “Today the Israeli flag was hoisted on the roof of the Federal Chancellery as a sign of solidarity with #Israel … Together we stand by Israel’s side.”
