Turkey’s prime minister has described a fatal Israeli commando raid on an aid ship as “state terrorism.”

Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in Chile on Monday that Israel has shown that it does not want peace in the region and has violated international law.

Erdogan was cutting short his Latin America tour over the development.
