According to Al Jazeera, Turkey’s Foreign Ministry has condemned the Israeli military for the deaths of over 40,000 Palestinians in Gaza, predominantly women and children. The ministry stated that “the bloodthirsty Netanyahu government must be held accountable before international courts as soon as possible.”
The ministry also accused Israel of committing “crimes against humanity by indiscriminately killing humanitarian aid workers and volunteers, especially UNRWA staff.” UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, employs over 30,000 people across its operations in Gaza, the West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria.
Turkey’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has called those who applauded Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the US Congress as endorsers of a “bloody criminal,” describing them as contributors to moral decline and historical disgrace.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has lashed out at Netanyahu, calling him a “psychopath” and a “blood sucking vampire.”
Turkey has submitted a petition to join the International Court of Justice (ICJ) genocide case against Israel, with Erdogan stating that “no matter what atrocities this bloodthirsty genocide network commits, it won’t stop Turkey or the Turkish people from standing in solidarity with the Palestinians.”
The Turkish evidence submitted to the International Criminal Court (ICC) has helped bring The Hague to the point of possibly issuing an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and two other officials on charges related to their war on Gaza….Vìêw–Morê
