The administration of US President Barack Obama has criticized the remarks of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in which he blamed Egypt turmoil on Israel. \"We strongly condemn the statements that were made by Prime Minister Erdogan today. Suggesting that Israel is somehow responsible for recent events in Egypt is offensive, unsubstantiated and wrong.\" said spokesman for the White House Josh Earnest. \"Statements like these only distract from the urgent need for all countries in the region, and frankly many leading countries around the world to work together through constructive dialogue to address the fluid and dangerous situation in Egypt.\" he added.
