Israel needs to "stop feeding on blood and tears" and follow a "responsible" path to a solution with the Palestinians, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said during a party meeting today.
 
"Israel needs to act responsibly for the sake and safety of the region," Erdoğan said. "The region is not what it used to be. Neighboring countries, as well as the world, are now tired of Israel's lawless acts. Israel needs to stop feeding on blood and tears."
 
Erdoğan also called on Israel to stop "deceiving and torturing its own people."
 
"Israel is hurting regional peace," Erdoğan said. "It's hurting its own people as much as the outside world."
