War in Gaza ‘systematic destruction of entire people’
Turkish parliament speaker Numan Kurtulmus has strongly condemned Israel’s actions in Gaza, calling it a “genocide unlike anything modern times have seen”.
“We are witnessing the systematic destruction of an entire people, and the world is largely silent,” Numan Kurtulumus said, adding that Gaza was not anyone’s “private property”.
“Despite the international system’s paralysis, human conscience is rising. Voices for Palestine are echoing across streets, parliaments, and capitals around the world,” he added.
Erdogan questions absence of sanctions on Israel
Turkiye’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has accused Israel of committing indiscriminate massacres against Palestinians in its war on Gaza.
“In a state of utter madness, the Israeli government is massacring Palestinians without any distinctions,” Erdogan said. For months, the “global media and human rights advocates have stood by in silence” while journalists and children have been killed, he added.
“More than 7 percent of the population has either been killed or maimed. A total of 212 journalists, who were working to report the truth from the ground, have been executed.”
Furthermore, he accused Western countries of having double standards, saying that “in the slightest incident, they are quick to impose sanctions”. “But I ask, where are they against Israel?” he added.
