Erdogan: Türkiye is preparing to declare Israel a war criminal and the West is the main culprit in the Gaza massacres
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced on Saturday evening that Türkiye is preparing to declare the State of Israel a war criminal, in light of the events taking place in Gaza.
“We’ll declare Israel a war criminal,” Erdogan said during a rally in Istanbul in support of Palestine… We’re preparing for that”.
Erdogan asked, “How many children, women and the elderly must die for you to declare a ceasefire? The sins record of the West has once again exceeded the limits of the game”.
Erdogan added, “The West know how to kill… They were eliminating Jews in masse in gas chambers and wiping cities and their inhabitants off the map with atomic bombs”.
Erdogan continued, “O world, you see all these facts… The Secretary-General of the United Nations is shouting, but you aren’t listening… You have become deaf”.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday described the West as the main culprit in the Gaza massacres.
Erdogan said during a rally in support of Palestine that included hundreds of thousands of people at the old Atatürk Airport in Istanbul, “The main culprits in the Gaza massacres are the Westerners… with the exception of the pronouns that raised their voices, these massacres are entirely the work of the West”.
In a fiery speech he delivered during the demonstration, the Turkish president directed sharp criticism at Western powers.
Erdogan said, “I ask the West; Will you create a new atmosphere of crusades against the Crescent?”
He continued, “Everyone knows that Israel cannot take a single step without them,” denouncing the Western powers’ failure to call for a ceasefire.
Erdogan said, “You cried for the children in Ukraine, why this silence regarding the children killed in Gaza?”
He confirmed the participation of one and a half million people in the gathering, accusing Israel of committing war crimes.
Addressing Israel, he said, “We declare to the entire world that you are a war criminal, and continued; You are occupiers and invaders”.
Erdogan added, “Of course every country has the right to defend itself, but where is the justice? What is happening in Gaza isn’t self-defense, but a massacre”.
The Turkish President called on the Israelis not to underestimate the feelings of compassion among the Turks, and added, “Listen to our calls for dialogue… Take a step in the right direction for your sake and for the sake of your children… We believe that there are no losers in a just peace”.
It’s worth noting that former Vice President Mike Pence announced his withdrawal last week from the race to obtain the Republican Party nomination for the upcoming presidential elections.
