Erdogan: Gaza is witnessing the most brutal genocide in the 21st century
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan described what Israel is doing against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip as one of the most brutal acts of genocide in the 21st century.
This came in a speech he delivered at the opening of the 40th meeting of the Standing Committee for Economic and Commercial Cooperation of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (COMCEC) on Monday in Istanbul.
Erdogan said, “The Zionist regime and its supporters have committed all kinds of massacres and injustice for 13 months, but they have not been able to bring our Palestinian brothers to their knees”.
Regarding relief aid, he explained, “We’ve delivered more than 85,000 tons of humanitarian aid to Gaza so far, facilitated by the Egyptian authorities”.
He considered that the best response to the “Zionist aggression” in Gaza and Lebanon is for more countries in the world to recognize the State of Palestine.
The Turkish President stressed the importance of the Islamic world supporting the just struggle of the peoples of Palestine and Lebanon, and putting aside its differences.
