“Gaza is not only an issue for those struggling to survive there, but for all of us”

 

Speaking at the Grand Palestine Rally, President Erdoğan said: “Surely, every country has the right to defend itself. However, in Gaza, there is no defense, but an obvious and despicable massacre. They seek the mass destruction of the people of Gaza through starvation, thirst, lack of fuel, collapse of health services, which they use as a weapon.”

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan attended the Grand Palestine Rally held by Justice and Development (AK) Party’s Istanbul branch at Atatürk Airport.

Speaking at the rally, President Erdoğan said that the Western world, from its politicians to its media, mobilized to legitimize the massacre of children, women and innocents in Gaza, and noted: “Israel has been openly committing war crime for 22 days. We will announce Israel to the world as a war criminal. We are working on that and we will introduce Israel to the world as a war criminal, but Western leaders cannot even call on Israel for a ceasefire, let alone react to it. With this latest attitude, the West's record of sins has once again overstepped its bounds.”

“Gaza is not only an issue for those struggling to survive there, but for all of us,” President Erdoğan stated, and added: “Surely, every country has the right to defend itself. However, in Gaza, there is no defense, but an obvious and despicable massacre. They seek the mass destruction of the people of Gaza through starvation, thirst, lack of fuel, collapse of health services, which they use as a weapon.”
