HATAY, TURKEY - MARCH 04: Turkey's foreign minister appealed Monday to Muslim nations to speak out strongly against Israeli policies against Palestinians. Those who refrain from raising their voice against Israel cannot defend Jerusalem, said Mevlut Cavusoglu at an election campaign event in southern Hatay province."We see that those Muslim countries which get afraid of the U.S. and Israel start faltering. There are even some countries pressuring Palestine 'not to raise their voice too much'. Are these the ones to defend Jerusalem?" said Cavusoglu.Cavusoglu also said that the same countries acted "cowardly" when voting against the U.S. and Israel at various Islamic summits and UN General Assembly meetings in the last two years. Cavusoglu said Turkey was struggling against many threats including terrorism, adding that the stability and peace in Syria were important for Turkish border cities like Hatay.
