Erdoğan urges ICC to hold Israel accountable for genocide in Gaza
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, attending the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, met with International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor Karim Khan at the Turkish House on Monday.
During the meeting, Erdoğan strongly condemned Israel’s actions in Gaza, accusing the Israeli government of committing genocide and violating international law and human rights.
Erdoğan asserted that the Israeli administration, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is recklessly planning further massacres, emboldened by the belief that no international power will intervene to stop them.
He emphasized that Israel must be held accountable for its actions and stressed the importance of the ongoing genocide case against Israel at the ICC, urging for its swift conclusion.
The Turkish president underlined that bringing those responsible for genocide to justice is vital for maintaining trust in international law. He reaffirmed Türkiye's commitment to providing concrete evidence to support the prosecution of these crimes. (ILKHA)
