Erdogan Condemns Israel's Actions in Lebanon and Gaza at UN General Assembly
In a press conference at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan condemned Israel's recent military actions in Lebanon, labeling them as terrorist attacks. He emphasized that these operations, which resulted in the deaths of 39 individuals and injuries to thousands, reflect Israel's disregard for civilian lives and its pursuit of extremist goals. Erdogan's remarks come as he prepares to address the United Nations General Assembly, where he plans to highlight the ongoing war on Gaza. He urged Western nations to take decisive action against Israel's aggressions, stating that the international community must work towards a permanent ceasefire and ensure humanitarian aid reaches those in need.
Erdogan's strong rhetoric included a call for increased pressure on Israel to prevent further escalation of violence in the region. He accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of inciting conflict through provocative actions that align with extremist ideologies. The Turkish President's upcoming speech at the UN is expected to focus on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, which has persisted for nearly a year. He stressed that the global community, particularly the United Nations, has a critical role in addressing these issues and restoring peace.
