In his speech, Erdoğan will touch on the wave of popular unrest
hitting the region in the “Arab Spring” and will also hit out against
Israel, the Daily News has learned. His address to the Arab League
will be part of Turkey’s ongoing campaign in the international arena
against Israel, which has intensified since Tel Aviv refused to
apologize for killing nine Turks last year aboard a Gaza-bound aid ship.

ministerial level. It will
be the second time Erdoğan will address the Arab League, following
a speech he
delivered to an Arab League summit in 2010 in Libya.

The Turkish prime minister is also expected to address Israel’s
blockade on the Gaza Strip and call on Arab countries to give
their strong support to
the Palestinians’ statehood-recognition bid at the United Nations
and Turkey’s
pledge to take the Gaza blockade to the International Court of Justice.

Although Erdoğan has expressed his intention to cross into
the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip through the Rafah border during
his visit to Egypt, Cairo’s reluctance makes this unlikely to happen,
a diplomat told the Daily News.
