TURKISH President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan accused American and British forces of turning the Red Sea into a “sea of blood.”
Erdogan also criticized both of its NATO allies for the “disproportionate use of force” and warned that the Houthis will use all of its resources to respond to the attacks.
Türkiye – an influential NATO member – has strongly criticized Israel’s military offensive in Gaza and has repeatedly condemned Western countries for supporting the Jewish state.
The latest wave of conflict exposed tensions between the European Union and Washington in which EU member states are still unwilling to send their navies to join the battle in the Red Sea under the command of the United States.
