Fatah official slams Turkish military operation in northern Syria

GAZA, Oct. 10 (Xinhua) -- Leader of the Democratic Reform Stream in the Palestinian Fatah movement, Mohammad Dahlan, slammed on Thursday the Turkish military operation in northern Syria.

Dahlan, also an opponent to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, said in an emailed press statement "with the most powerful words, we condemn the Turkish military invasion into the brotherly Arab land of Syria under false pretexts."

His remarks on the Turkish invasion into northern Syria are the first Palestinian reaction that opposed it.

Egypt has earlier called for holding an emergency meeting of the Arab League foreign ministers on Saturday to discuss the recent offensive launched by Turkey in northern Syria.
