Former Prime Minister Tony Blair’s sister-in-law has sparked outrage after she called the October 7 massacre "a legendary day" for the Muslim community.
Lauren Booth, the 58-year-old half-sister of Cherie Blair, is a British-born journalist who converted to Islam and now resides in Istanbul.
The remarks were made in a recently surfaced video interview with Turkish newspaper Yeni Safak.
"After October 7, this October 7, a legendary day in the Ummah's history, yes, we can say that people are now picking up the Koran because of the steadfastness and sabr (patience) of the people of Gaza," she told the outlet.
