Erdogan: America forgets human rights regarding Israel

According to Fars News Agency International Group, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan gave a speech this afternoon (Saturday) at the solidarity meeting of Arab and Islamic countries with the Palestinian people in Riyadh.

President of Turkey said: “Words cannot describe what is happening in Gaza and the brutal attacks on hospitals, places of worship and schools.” We saw mothers in Gaza who died while holding their children, and we saw fathers who were looking for their family members under the rubble.” Recep Tayyip Erdoğan continued: “Israel is trying to take revenge for the events of October 7th (when the Al-Aqsa storm operation began) by killing innocent people, children and women. 73% of those who lost their lives in Gaza and the West Bank were women and children. This madness cannot be understood.

Erdogan added: “Western countries did not even demand a ceasefire in Gaza. Those who remain silent in the face of oppression are equally complicit in this oppression. America and the West claim human rights; But unfortunately, they have forgotten human rights regarding Israel’s actions”.

He also pointed out: “Our priority is a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and sending continuous humanitarian aid to this region. Fuel must be supplied to important facilities, especially hospitals in the Gaza Strip. A way must be found to keep the Rafah border crossing open. It should be investigated whether there are nuclear bombs in Israel or not. Israel, which behaves like a spoiled child of the West, should be obliged to pay damages to the people of Gaza.
