Meeting with Arab reporters, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan was quoted in a Saudi newspaper Sunday as saying that the Temple Mount, the Machepelah Cave, and the Tomb of Rachel, “were never Jewish sites, but are Muslim sites. Palestine is the problem and it will never be dropped from our agenda.” Erdogan said he approved of indirect talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, saying that “good negotiations can bring about the desired results.”
