Istanbul /Nina/ Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government added their names to Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin, as the Nazis of our time through the crimes against humanity they committed in Gaza.
Erdogan stressed in his speech today, Saturday, at the General Assembly of the Foundation for the Publishing of Sciences in Istanbul that Israel is a terrorist state that is implementing a policy of complete genocide against our Palestinian brothers, with unlimited military and diplomatic support from Western powers.
He added that more than 32,000 Palestinians have been martyred so far, and more than 72,000 have been injured as a result of Israeli attacks that directly target civilians.
He pointed out that nearly two million people were forced to leave their homes, and mosques, universities, schools and residential neighborhoods were turned into rubble as a result of the Israeli attacks.
The Turkish President expressed his regret that the Islamic world, with a population of about two billion people, was not able to carry out the duty of brotherhood towards the Palestinian people to the fullest extent.
Erdogan said: “We have all witnessed together how the Universal Declaration of Human Rights has turned into a mere piece of paper when it comes to the right to life of innocent Palestinian children, women and civilians.”
He added: “Once again, this stage has shown us that the Islamic world still suffers from very important shortcomings, especially with regard to collective action, exerting effective pressure on Israel and its supporters, and preventing repression and massacres.”
The Turkish President added, “Of course, there were movements, and many diplomatic efforts were made, but those efforts were not able to prevent the death of innocent children in Gaza from hunger or from being killed by bullets and bombs that were thrown at them.”
Erdogan reiterated that Turkey will continue to do what is necessary to hold Israeli officials accountable for the massacres committed in Gaza before international law.
Regarding extending a helping hand to the Palestinian people in Gaza, Erdogan said: “We have invested in our relations that have recently developed with the Egyptian authorities to deliver aid to Gaza, noting that the total amount of humanitarian aid that Turkey has sent to the Gaza Strip so far is 40,000 tons via 19 aircraft and 7 civilian ships.”
The Turkish President stressed that the one who most supports the Palestinian cause at the level of countries and peoples and at the highest levels is Turkey, without a doubt, and that Turkey is a country that speaks with Hamas leaders about everything clearly and easily and stands strongly behind them.
Erdogan criticized the position of international institutions regarding what is happening in Gaza, saying: “We have all seen and experienced how international institutions, human rights organizations, and media institutions are useless when it comes to Israel.”/End
