NATO support to Israel, what Erdogan said
Last Updated on July 14, 2024 10:02 am
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and NATO cannot continue to cooperate with Israel. Because Israel continues to violate NATO’s basic principles and values.
Erdogan spoke at a press conference after attending the NATO summit in Washington on Friday.
At that time, the Turkish president also commented that Israel is carrying out genocide on Palestinians in Gaza.
Spain called on NATO to adopt an even-handed approach to the Gaza and Ukraine crises at NATO summits ahead of Erdogan.
Although the final manifesto of the NATO summit in Washington did not contain a single word about Gaza!
In this context, Iranian analyst Ali Nikmanesh said that the NATO alliance and the entire West have been showing two-pronged policy and behavior in global events. And in the case of the Gaza crisis, their hypocrisy is very well visible. The approach of some NATO members like Turkey and even Spain could help bring a quick end to the wars in Gaza and Ukraine.
According to Erdogan, Israel’s hawkish Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has threatened the security of the entire region by continuing the war in Gaza.
The President of Turkey said that he demanded to pay attention to the disasters that happened in occupied Palestine, especially in Gaza, in the meeting with the head of government or the leader of the country he met with at the NATO conference.
Along with other Muslim countries, Turkey is increasing pressure on Israel. To end Israeli crimes in Gaza. But Netanyahu, who has the full support of the US government, is not agreeing to a cease-fire in Gaza. Instead, the brutal crimes in Gaza continue.
On Saturday, the Israeli forces carried out an aerial attack on the refugee camp in al-Mawasi area of West Khan Yunis in occupied Gaza. At least three hundred Palestinians were injured.
Earlier on Thursday, Israel carried out indiscriminate bombing of two UN-declared school-centered refugee camps, killing large numbers of civilians and defenseless Palestinians, most of them women and children.
According to Turkish President Erdogan, Turkey has joined South Africa’s case against Israel at the International Court of Justice in The Hague. While it is very important to hold Israel’s justice program at the international level and file a case against Israel, it is also believed that breaking political and trade relations with the women and child-killing Israeli regime is a much more effective way to force Israel to end the war very quickly. Turkey is doing.
Despite the condemnation and hatred of the Muslim countries against the Israeli crimes and genocide in Gaza or the so-called ethnic cleansing campaign, the Muslim governments have not yet taken a fully united position to force Israel to stop the war in Gaza.
That is why Israel has been indiscriminately killing the oppressed and defenseless Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank since October 7 last year. More than 38,000 Palestinians have been killed and more than 88,000 injured in Gaza so far due to Israeli brutality.
