Ankara, MINA –The Turkish Foreign Ministry on Thursday condemned the new Jewish nation-state law passed by Israel’s Knesset, saying it “disregards” norms of universal law.
“The Jewish nation-state law passed by the Israeli parliament today disregards norms of universal law and ignores the rights of Palestinians,” WAFA reported, citing the ministry in a statement.
The statement came after the Knesset passed a law declaring the country as “the nation-state of the Jewish people”.
The ministry also condemned the law – which describes the right to self-determination in Israel as only belonging to Jewish people – as “antiquated” and “discriminatory.”
