Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan published a video clip about the genocide committed by Israel in the Gaza Strip on his official account on the X platform today, Monday, on the occasion of the one-year anniversary of the ongoing genocide committed by Israel in Gaza since October 7, 2023.
The video clip at the end included the phrase “The genocide committed by Israel kills the Palestinians and kills humanity” in Turkish, English, Arabic and Hebrew.
Erdogan stressed that Israel will sooner or later pay the price for the genocide that it has been committing for a year in the Gaza Strip. He said in a post on the X platform on Monday, “Israel brutally killed about 50,000 children and women in Gaza who were alive 365 days ago.”
He added, “Hospitals, places of worship for various religions and schools in Gaza no longer exist. Many journalists, representatives of civil society organizations and peace ambassadors are no longer among us.”
The Turkish President continued, “Death is not limited to women, children, infants, and innocent civilians in Gaza, Palestine, and currently in Lebanon. At the same time, the international system, humanity, and institutions that were expected to serve humanity have also died.”
Erdogan pointed out that “what was killed before the eyes of the world live for an entire year is in fact all of humanity, and all of humanity’s hopes for the future,” and said that he recalls with sadness today the tens of thousands of people who have been killed by the Israeli government since October 7, 2023.
The Turkish President stressed the need to end the Israeli policy of occupation and genocide that has been continuing for many years. He went on to say, “We must not forget that Israel will sooner or later pay the price for the genocide it has been committing for a year.”
Erdogan compared Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the German Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, saying, “Just as Hitler was stopped through a joint alliance of humanity, Netanyahu and his criminal network will be stopped in the same way,” considering that a world in which there is no accountability for the genocide committed in Gaza will not enjoy peace.
Erdogan concluded his post by emphasizing that “Türkiye will continue to stand against the Israeli government at all costs and will continue to call on the world to take this honorable position.”
Today, Monday, marks the first anniversary of the start of Israel, with American support, a genocidal war in Gaza, which to date has resulted in more than 139,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, and more than 10,000 missing, amid massive destruction and famine that killed dozens of children and the elderly.
Tel Aviv continues the war of genocide, ignoring the UN Security Council resolution to end it immediately, and the orders of the International Court of Justice to take measures to prevent acts of genocide and improve the miserable humanitarian situation in Gaza.
