Ankara, Turkiye --- October 4, 2024:
In a strong statement issued on Friday, Türkiye's foreign ministry condemned Israel for what it described as ongoing acts of genocide in Gaza, the invasion of Lebanon, and systematic violations of international law in the occupied West Bank. The statement reflects Türkiye's deepening concern over the escalating violence in the region and the humanitarian impact on the Palestinian population.
The ministry expressed condolences for the Palestinians killed in an Israeli air strike on the city of Tulkarm, invoking divine mercy for the victims. Türkiye's criticism highlights what it perceives as Israel's systematic attempts to destroy the Palestinian people and deny their legitimate rights, labeling these actions as severe threats to international peace and security.
The foreign ministry also called upon the international community, including prominent organizations such as the United Nations, to intervene and stop what it sees as violations of international law by Israel. Türkiye emphasized the need for defending Palestinian rights and urged decisive action to bring an end to the violence and ensure justice for the affected population.
This statement marks another chapter in Türkiye's outspoken position regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The call for international intervention signals an attempt to galvanize global action and pressure Israel to comply with international norms while amplifying Türkiye's role as a vocal advocate for Palestinian rights on the international stage.
