Middle East on alert! Erdogan pointed to the West: Israel's accomplice...

World politics is navigating one of its "sharpest turns," says Turkish President Erdogan, pointing to "serious power vacuum" in international system, loss of morality, conscience.

The perpetrators of genocide "should not be at podiums of legislative chambers," but in courtrooms where they will account for their crimes, Erdogan says.

Erdogan Condemns Global Silence on Israeli Massacres in Gaza


Erdogan Calls Out the International Community's Inaction


In a powerful speech, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has strongly condemned the global silence regarding the ongoing Israeli atrocities in Gaza. Erdogan described the situation as a "serious power vacuum in the international system" and a "loss of morality and conscience." [[1]]

The Turkish leader likened Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Adolf Hitler, stating that those who "applaud" Netanyahu's actions "will never be able to wash off dark stains on their hands for the rest of their lives." [[1]]

The Deafening Silence of the UN Security Council


Erdogan was particularly critical of the United Nations Security Council, which he said "remains silent" in the face of the oppression in Gaza. [[1]]

The Turkish president also condemned the double standards of social media platforms, which he said have shown "great care" in adhering to rules in the US and Europe but have "deliberately withheld the same diligence" when it comes to Türkiye. [[1]](https://www.trtworld.com/turkiye/erdogan-slams-global-silence-regarding-israeli-massacres-in-gaza-18192000) He referred to this as a form of "digital fascism" that cannot even tolerate photos of Palestinian martyrs.


Türkiye's Unwavering Support for Palestine


Erdogan's strong words reflect Türkiye's longstanding support for the Palestinian cause. The country has been a vocal advocate for the rights of the Palestinian people and has consistently condemned Israel's actions in the occupied territories.


Türkiye has also taken concrete steps to support Gaza, including providing humanitarian aid and advocating for the lifting of the Israeli blockade. Erdogan's latest remarks underscore Türkiye's determination to keep the plight of the Palestinian people at the forefront of the international agenda.


Conclusion


President Erdogan's scathing criticism of the global community's silence on the Israeli massacres in Gaza is a powerful call to action. He has made it clear that Türkiye will not remain silent in the face of such blatant human rights violations and that the international community must be held accountable for its inaction. As the world grapples with this ongoing crisis, Erdogan's words serve as a stark reminder that the global system is in dire need of reform to ensure justice and protect the most vulnerable.
