Ankara: The Turkish presidential administration on Tuesday denied reports about alleged agreements between President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Turkey admitting one million Palestinians on its soil.
A number of opposition media in Turkey reported that Erdogan allegedly agreed to accept one million Palestinian refugees to Turkey in exchange for money.
“The report shared on some social media citing Netanyahu’s statement — we have agreed with Erdogan that 1 million Palestinians will become Turkish citizens and live in Turkey in exchange for two billion dollars — is not true. There were no negotiations by our President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and such a statement by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not exist. These claims are completely fabricated,” the administration’s center for combating disinformation said in a statement.
