Скачать или смотреть Netanyahu: 'Well, we’re here. This is our city, Mr Erdogan'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu directly addressed Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan during an event in Jerusalem while hosting US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, saying, “we're here, this is our city, Mr Erdogan. It's not your city. It's our city. It will always be our city. It will not be divided again.”

His remarks followed Erdogan’s call for a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict that would see East Jerusalem become the capital of a Palestinian state.

On Wednesday, Erdogan responded at an event in Ankara, stating that Turkey “carried the banner of Islam for centuries” and “had the honour of serving the holy Jerusalem for four hundred years… Netanyahu does not know this. Today, I shout it from here, maybe then he will learn. With wisdom and tolerance, we made this city a land of peace and tranquillity."
