Gaza suffering ‘disaster, catastrophe, crime against humanity,’ says Turkish president
Turkish people will keep supporting Gaza’s residents as they refuse “to leave their homes and lands to the end,” Recep Tayyip Erdogan said at a commemorative event for Türkiye’s founding father Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.
Honoring the memory of Ataturk on the 85th anniversary of his passing at the event at the Bestepe National Congress and Cultural Center in capital Ankara, Erdogan also touched on the Gaza war.
He warned that Israel is “trying our patience with delusions of promised land, including territory of our country, with threats to use nuclear weapons.”
Israel has killed at least 11,000 Palestinians, including 4,412 children and 2,918 women, in Gaza.
He also weighed in on relations between Ankara and the EU, underlining that they were not improving because the bloc had an “openly hostile attitude” towards Türkiye.
“Hope for EU overcoming strategic blindness is dwindling,” he said.
