Turkish premier Recep Erdogan stressed that the mosques in occupied Palestine, atop of them the Aqsa Mosque, had never been and would not be part of the Jewish heritage, but rather they were always Islamic holy sites. “Recently, there were some unilateral Israeli practices which we cannot accept at all,” Erdogan told a delegation of Palestinian journalists in Istanbul. “We have rejected the Israeli decision regarding the Jewish heritage. They are mosques and cannot be in any way Israeli legacy,” he added. The Turkish premier also emphasised that the Palestinian issue is a Turkish cause that will never be excluded for one day from his agenda.
