Erdogan regretted the absence of Mahmoud Abbas in the general assembly

At the beginning of his speech at the UN General Assembly, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan regretted the absence of Abu Mazen, the head of the Palestinian Authority, at the UN meeting.

He described Gaza as "the biggest cemetery".

Before Mr. Erdogan's speech, King Abdullah II of Jordan delivered a speech, almost all of which was harsh criticism of the Israeli prisoners.
