Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Zionist Israel, who has dragged the region into flames for his dirty ambitions in the Middle East, targeted President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Using arrogant statements towards President Erdoğan, Netanyahu described the Zionist army as the ‘most moral army in the world’ and stated that they would continue their vile actions.

MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS: NETANYAHU CANNOT HIDE HIS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SERIOUS CRIMES HE COMMITTED

“The unfounded, provocative and unrealistic accusations against our President are simply an effort by Netanyahu and his accomplices to mislead the international public.

The lies that genocide expert Netanyahu resorts to to cover up the facts cannot hide his responsibility for the serious crimes he committed.

As Türkiye, we will continue to express the truth about Netanyahu and his collaborators in the clearest language. “We will continue to work determinedly to ensure that they are held accountable before international judicial authorities for their actions that disregard the law and human values.”

Director of Communications Burhanettin Duran reacted to Netanyahu with his post:

“IT IS COMPLETELY UNLIMITED”

“It is absolutely outrageous for an administration and a ruler who has murdered tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza and the West Bank for decades, condemned children to starvation, destroyed cities, disregarded international law, and has a record full of shame and immorality, to attempt to give moral lessons to Türkiye.

“IT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST INCONCEPTS IN HISTORY”

It is one of the greatest inconsistencies in history that those who are tried at the International Court of Justice on charges of genocide in Gaza are trying to throw mud at Türkiye, which is the conscience of humanity, and inordinately targeting our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who is the voice of the oppressed.

“Türkiye WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE VOICE OF THE OPPRESSED”

Slander and propaganda cannot change the facts. The slanders of a mentality condemned in the conscience of humanity can neither change Türkiye’s stance nor the truth. Under the leadership of our President, Türkiye aims to be the voice of the oppressed; “He will continue to defend the truth and stand against the oppressor.”

MINISTER GÜRLEK: IT IS A COMPLETE MIND

Minister of Justice Akın Gürlek said, “It is a complete insanity that Netanyahu, who is a suspect in the genocide investigation carried out by our Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office, is trying to target our President, who defends human dignity.”

Minister of Justice Akın Gürlek, in his statement, said, “The excessive words of Binyamin Netanyahu, who rained bombs on children, women and innocent civilians in Gaza and who was convicted in the common conscience of humanity, targeting our President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan are null and void. It is a complete lapse of reason that Netanyahu, who is a suspect in the genocide investigation carried out by our Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office, attempts to target our President, who defends human dignity. Our President; the Palestinian people are right.” He defends his cause, the law of the oppressed and the conscience of humanity in the strongest way. On the other hand, those who remain silent against what happened in Gaza will be written into the dark pages of history. Netanyahu and the murder network with him will sooner or later be held accountable for the crimes against humanity they committed. Turkey will continue to raise its strongest voice in the name of law, justice and humanity today, as it did yesterday.

STATEMENTS OF PRESIDENT ERDOĞAN

“WE DO NOT TOLERATE ANY ATTACKS AGAINST OUR BROTHERS”

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan stated that crises and wars continue in the geography where Türkiye is located, and that they are faced with the heartbreaking cries of the oppressed from Gaza to Lebanon.

Stating that Israel has been performing a function that has constantly threatened peace, tranquility, prosperity and security in the region since the day it was founded, Erdoğan continued as follows:

“The occupation of Palestine and the genocide against the Palestinians continue systematically. 73 thousand innocent people were murdered in Gaza in front of the eyes of the whole world. This genocide still continues with both the massacre and the inhumane isolation dimension. Israel, which committed the bloodiest genocide in human history, attacked Iran at the same time. As if this was not enough, it started to occupy Lebanon at the same time. Despite the reactions of the countries in the region, especially Turkey, Israel refuses to withdraw from Lebanon and continues its bloody operations there. “The number of people killed in Lebanon since March 2 has reached 3,700 and the number of injured has reached 11,400.”

Emphasizing that Israel is simultaneously making an insidious effort to destabilize African countries and the Mediterranean, Erdoğan underlined that the Zionist administration is literally a boil and a factory of discord, producing constant unrest in a wide geography.

Stating that the world did not show the necessary reaction to Israel’s rules, laws, principles, values ​​and borderless policies, Erdogan said, “Israel has become more and more spoiled under the current government’s administration and has become a source of threat not only for the region but also for humanity. The attacks of Netanyahu and his murder network on Syria and Lebanon have now reached a point where they threaten Türkiye as well as these two brother countries.” he said.

Pointing out that Syria and Lebanon are two independent states, Erdoğan said:

“Syria and Lebanon are also two states located within Türkiye’s geography of love and brotherhood. Damascus and Beirut are two sister cities of Istanbul. Türkiye’s security starts not only from Hatay, but also from Aleppo, it starts from Damascus, Türkiye’s security starts from Beirut. We do not tolerate any fait accompli in the countries of our brothers, we do not condone any attacks against our brothers. Now they and their hitmen are coming out, right and left, targeting Türkiye “They are making threats. You don’t need to say this. We already know your intentions, your purpose, your goal. We are well aware of what you are pursuing and we will never allow it.”

“NO ONE SHOULD CHOOSE ADVENTURE”

President Erdoğan said that they saw that there was an attempt to light a fire of discord in the Mediterranean, especially on the Island of Cyprus, and that they were following the developments very closely.

“Some small structures, whose ambitions far exceed their size, have boarded Israel’s boat of discord, have undertaken the subcontracting of Zionism, and have supposedly pursued some crude dreams in the Eastern Mediterranean.” Erdoğan said, “I am saying it very clearly, no one should pursue adventure, no one should follow the zionist massacre network. If the rights and laws of Türkiye and the Turkish Cypriots are attacked in the Eastern Mediterranean, I want it to be known that our response will be very clear and very harsh.” he said.

“ISRAEL MUST BE STOPPED”

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said, “Israel must be stopped, this is the duty of humanity and the humanitarian front. History should not be allowed to repeat itself.” he said.

In his speech at the AK Party Grand National Assembly Group Meeting, Erdoğan said that Israel was “spoiled and encouraged by the silence of the international community” and was preventing the region from achieving peace, tranquility and security.

Stating that bringing Israel within the legal line has now become a common matter not only for certain countries but also for humanity, Erdoğan said that the attacks against Iran and Lebanon have a negative impact not only on the countries in the region but also on a global scale.

Emphasizing that Israel’s aggressive attitude is a threat to humanity as well as the region, Erdoğan said:

“85 years ago, silence and indifference in the face of Hitler led to the loss of life of 80 million people around the world. All humanity paid the price for the madness of a raving murderer. Today, the same mistake is repeated. The genocide of Gaza butcher Netanyahu and his cabinet is watched with great silence and indifference, just like what was done to Hitler. No one should forget that when the fire grows, it not only burns the region, the sparks fall all over the world. Just as today, the whole world pays the price for the lack of solution in Hormuz.” If Israeli banditry is not stopped, all humanity, including the region, will suffer the consequences.

It is a historical responsibility for other countries in Europe to show the courage and common sense that Spain has demonstrated. The blood of the genocide that continues in Gaza today is on the hands and faces of those who remain unresponsive. Those who remain unresponsive will be responsible for the consequences of this aggression, which started in Iran and Lebanon and threatens Syria, the Mediterranean and Africa. Israel must be stopped, this is the duty of humanity and the humanitarian front. “History must not be allowed to repeat itself.”

Emphasizing that Türkiye will do its best to establish peace and tranquility in its region, despite all Israel’s sabotage, Erdoğan said that Türkiye will join hands with its neighbors, friends and brothers, and all countries that believe in peace, and will patiently continue to push all doors and try all diplomatic methods to end the bloodshed and tears. Erdoğan said, “I am sending our messages of solidarity to our Gazan and Lebanese brothers from here and I would like to emphasize again that Türkiye, which has always been with them, will continue to be with them from now on.” he said.
