US condemns Erdogan's 'anti-Semitic' remarks on Israel

The United States on Tuesday strongly condemned recent comments by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan against Israel.

"We urge President Erdogan and other Turkish leaders to refrain from incendiary remarks, which could incite further violence," State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a statement quoted by Reuters.

"Anti-Semitic language has no place anywhere," he added.
