The US is closing its consulate in Adana, Turkey
During yesterday’s rallies, protesters attempted to storm the US consulate in Adana, climbing over the wall and throwing stones and objects. At the same time, the US is warning its staff at the consulate in Adana to reduce their movements, warning that “peaceful protests can turn violent.”
Turkish television network Haber Global reported the news about the consulate, reporting:The USA, through its consulates, feels threatened in Turkey. That is why there is an announcement to the staff and an order is given to their staff in Adana to reduce travel and avoid travel. The US reports that “large demonstrations related to events in Israel and Gaza are expected across Turkey in the coming weeks. Any gathering, even one intended to be peaceful, could escalate and turn violent.” They wanted American citizens not to suffer any harm. In Turkey, no one will harm them, but the US made this decision.”

As reported by Manolis Kostidis, Erdogan spoke about “crimes against humanity and “genocide” and underlined that “4,000 thousand of our Palestinian brothers were martyred by the Israeli bombardments”.
Specifically, he stated: “The bombing of innocent people migrating to so-called ‘safe zones’, border gates, mosques, schools and civilian settlements are some of the war crimes we have witnessed in the last 12 days.
Yesterday, with the heinous attack on Al Ehli Arab Hospital, the carnage in Gaza went into another dimension” he specifically mentioned and emphasized:
“I condemn the perpetrators of this attack, which constitutes a crime against humanity and reaches the level of genocide against the people of Gaza.
I wish Allah’s mercy for our 4,000 brothers and sisters from Gaza, martyred by the Israeli bombardment where most of them were children and women. I wish our wounded a speedy recovery” concluded.
THE Omer Celik for his part, he attacked both Israel and the US, commenting that the “hitting the hospital was a planned massacre and brutality. The rocket at the hospital was fired by Israel.”
“He also referred to the US aircraft carrier saying that “Western countries increase tension and fuel conflict.”
Fidan: Israel is an occupying power and commits atrocities and crimes against humanity.
However, the minister also unleashed fierce “fire” against Israel Foreign Hakan Fidan. The Turkish minister called for a coalition of Muslim states to establish a Palestinian state.
“Israel and other countries must realize that delaying peace with the Palestinians will have a price. We must break the vicious cycle in which Israel persecutes despite the fact that it receives harsh criticism from us, yet manages to make the people to forget them by committing new atrocities. These are common on this model. The Muslim world must take courageous decisions and implement them gradually and decisively until a sovereign, independent and geographically integrated Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital is realized. That is why I ask that the following paragraph be added to the final conclusions: “We call on all member states to take applicable and effective diplomatic, legal and coercive measures in order to stop crimes against humanity” he said.
