President Erdogan participated in the G20 leaders’ summit via video conference, where he once again lashed out at Israel over the war in Gaza, saying “war crimes and crimes against humanity are clearly being committed,” according to his correspondent. SKAI in Istanbul, Manolis Kostidis.

“Unfortunately, almost 7 thousand innocent children of Palestine did not live to see this day because the Israeli government took away the most basic right of these children and 14 thousand citizens, the right to life. It forced the Palestinians to emigrate from their homeland,” the Turkish president said.

“They brutally bombed hospitals, schools, camps, places of worship and churches where they took refuge in their last hope of escaping death. They even lost control to the point of threatening to use a nuclear bomb, the existence of which they have always denied until today,” Erdogan continued.

The Turkish president reiterated that the war in Gaza exceeds Israel’s right of self-defense, calling the attack “a war crime and a crime against humanity” while adding that “those who did this must be held accountable before the conscience of humanity and international law.” .
