Ankara hits back at Israeli criticism of President Erdogan's stance on Palestine

The Turkish Foreign Ministry has reaffirmed President Erdogan's condemnation of Israel's genocide against the Palestinian people.
In a press release, the ministry stated that Türkiye remains committed to stopping what it describes as a massacre committed by Israel and is actively working to isolate Israel internationally.
The ministry also addressed recent criticism from Israeli politicians, accusing them of baselessly targeting Türkiye and President Erdogan in an insolent manner.
Highlighting what it calls the genocidal policies of the fundamentalist Israeli government, the ministry emphasized the threat these policies pose to both Palestinians and Israelis.
Türkiye pledged to continue shedding light on what it views as racist and unjust policies employed by Israel against the Palestinian people.
The ministry reiterated Türkiye's commitment to defending the just cause of Palestinians until they achieve statehood in their own country. (ILKHA)
