A conscientious leader

Letter May 21, 2018
Hell has been created by the state of Israel

ISLAMABAD: Perhaps the only leader of a Muslim country acting against Israel for its brutal killing of Palestinians is Turkey’s President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Not only did the Turkish president call for an emergency meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation after the recent Gaza killings but he also described the killings by Israeli forces as an act similar to that of the Nazi massacre of the Jews.

While other Muslim leaders have only provided lip service to the Palestinian cause, the Turkish president has taken it upon himself to fight for the Palestinians whose lives have become a living hell. And the hell has been created by the state of Israel.

The Muslim world needs more leaders like President Erdogan who stands for a just cause.
