Turkey to file ICJ genocide case application on Wednesday
Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan says Turkey will file its application to join South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice in The Hague on Wednesday.
The Turkish foreign minister made the comments during a joint presser with his Egyptian counterpart in Cairo.
Fidan also called the killing of Hamas’s political leader a “treacherous assassination” and warned that that the region can no longer tolerate Israel’s “provocations”.
Erdogan’s slams ‘digital fascism’ targeting Palestinians
Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has attacked social media platforms for censoring photographs of Palestinian victims in Gaza as Ankara negotiates with Instagram to reinstate access after cutting it on August 2.
“They cannot even tolerate photographs of Palestinian martyrs and immediately ban them,” Erdogan said at a human rights event. “We are confronted with a digital fascism that is disguised as freedom.”
Erdogan also called Israel a “blood-thirsty genocide network” and vowed that Turkey will not be deterred from standing in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
