Irem Aktas #fundie ibtimes.co.uk

A Turkish official has been accused of tweeting that she "wished the Israelis" who were said to be wounded in an Istanbul suicide bomb blast were dead. Irem Aktas reportedly acts as the women's media and publicity chairman for President Recep Tayip Erdogan's AKP party.

"I wish that the wounded #Israeli tourists were dead," she reportedly said, before adding in another tweet: "When Israel was attacking your Muslim brothers, why didn't you say anything."

Shortly afterwards, she made her Twitter profile private, and then it was removed altogether. But the comments were highlighted by Dr Aykan Erdemir, who served in the Turkish parliament between 2011-2015.
