President Erdogan Condemns Israel’s Actions as Terrorist-Like Attacks
In a recent statement before his departure to the United States, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan spoke out in Istanbul. He expressed his intentions to make a call for Gaza at the UN General Assembly, stating, “Unfortunately, Israel is once again conducting attacks not like a state, but like a terrorist organization. Especially, the fact that they have now activated these digital attacks is a clear and explicit expression of this.”
Key Points from President Erdogan’s Remarks:
As we prepare to depart for New York to participate in the 79th General Debate of the United Nations General Assembly, where over 130 heads of state and government are expected to attend, there will be intense meetings and discussions in the United States.
This year’s General Debate is themed “Leave No One Behind,” and on the first day of discussions, I will address the UN General Assembly on September 24. We will share our views on the issues affecting our region and humanity, particularly touching on the genocide in Gaza and potential joint steps against Israel’s aggressive policies.
Israel’s government has turned Gaza, with its population of over 2 million, into a Nazi extermination camp, either killing them with bombs or through hunger and thirst. The situation on the ground is worsening due to hunger, thirst, lack of basic food, and medical supplies.
President Erdogan emphasized the urgent need to end this oppression, establish a lasting ceasefire, and ensure unhindered humanitarian aid flow to the region, calling on the world, particularly the United Nations, to take significant actions.
Israel’s Wider Aggression and Provocations:
President Erdogan warned that Israel’s recent attacks on Lebanon have raised concerns about the Israeli government’s plans to expand the conflict in the region. He highlighted Netanyahu and his cohorts’ use of radical Zionist ideologies to provoke and incite tensions, including the increased attacks and harassment on our first qibla, the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Turkey’s Stance on the Crisis:
Turkey’s sensitivity to this issue has been reiterated multiple times, emphasizing the need to intensify pressure on Israel to prevent the region from plunging into a major catastrophe.
Upcoming Engagements at the UN General Assembly:
Besides addressing the UN General Assembly, President Erdogan will engage in bilateral meetings with counterparts from various countries at the Turkish House, discussing a range of issues and potential collaborations. He will also meet with representatives of think tanks and prominent members of the American business community.
The Urgency of Resolving the Syrian Crisis:
President Erdogan stressed the need to end the tension in Syria, highlighting the spread of instability, especially as Israel continues its state terror in the region. He emphasized that this is not just ordinary terrorism but state terrorism, urging the international community to act decisively.
President Erdogan’s Call for Action:
The President called on all countries to put an end to Israel’s heinous actions and take deterrent measures. He emphasized that the time has come for all countries tasked with maintaining global peace to present solutions to halt Israel’s aggression.
President Erdogan’s Meeting with President Biden:
While President Erdogan’s schedule for the UN General Assembly is packed with meetings, a definitive meeting with President Biden has not been confirmed yet. However, discussions will focus on addressing the ongoing bloodshed in Palestine and other conflict zones worldwide.
President Erdogan’s Commitment to Peace:
President Erdogan reiterated Turkey’s commitment to fighting against the storm of death currently sweeping through the Middle East due to Zionism. Turkey will continue to explore what more can be done to counter this crisis and prevent further loss of life.
In Conclusion:
As the conflict in Gaza and other areas of conflict persists, President Erdogan will evaluate the situation and discuss necessary actions at the UN General Assembly. With over 45,000 lives lost, urgent steps must be taken to address the ongoing crisis. Turkey stands ready to do its part to combat the death storm unleashed by world Zionism in the Middle East.
