Opposition leader Ozgur Ozel caused anger in Turkey after he said in a TV interview on Saturday that Hamas is a terrorist organization, according to the Jerusalem Post.

Ozel remarked, 'Hamas rains bombs on innocent people in the middle of the night, with balloons, drones, and I don’t know what else.'

He continued to argue that he faces criticism for making these statements, yet also said, 'You must see that this issue started there [with Hamas]. What Hamas did was an act of terror. Hamas fired bombs at sleeping Jews in the middle of the night.
