ISTANBUL (AA) - Türkiye’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday said that the Zionist lobby has an influence on some of the world's leading universities.

“The Gaza genocide has shown that the Zionist lobby has also exerted control over the world's most prestigious universities,” Erdogan said at the Academic Year Opening Ceremony in Ankara.

He also accused Western countries of “failing” to prevent the Gaza genocide, saying they have lost their credibility for the sake of protecting Israel.
