U.S. Condemns Erdogan's Comments on Israel, Egypt
(Reuters) The U.S. on Tuesday condemned comments by Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan accusing Israel of having a hand in the Egyptian military's overthrow of president Mohamed Morsi. Erdogan said: "What is behind it? Israel. We have in our hands documentation." White House spokesman Josh Earnest responded: "We strongly condemn the statements that were made by Prime Minister Erdogan today. Suggesting that Israel is somehow responsible for recent events in Egypt is offensive, unsubstantiated, and wrong."
