Turkey rejects Netanyahu’s UN speech and calls his accusations baseless

Turkey is rejecting what it describes as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's "baseless accusations" at the UN summit in New York, the state-run Turkish news agency Anatolia reports.

Netanyahu called Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan a "tyrant" and accused the country of providing shelter to Hamas leaders.

Turkish spokesperson Burhanettin Duran says that Netanyahu's accusations are not consistent with the values of the UN.
