Turkey's Prime Minister on Sunday denounced Israel's air assault on Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip as a «crime against humanity» and called for them to end, AP reported. Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Israel of using «disproportionate force» and said the attacks were a «blow to peace.» «To go and bomb these defenseless people, and to openly say that this operation will be a long-lasting one, that it will be this or that, to me, is a serious crime against humanity,» Erdogan said.
