Erdogan criticizes Netanyahu as war criminal
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan stated that "state terrorism" practiced by Israel in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank was a central issue on the Turkish delegation’s agenda during their participation in the United Nations General Assembly. He emphasized that it is shameful to allow Israeli war criminals to address the UN platform, especially after Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was prevented from participating. Erdoğan criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech before the Assembly, which he delivered in a nearly empty hall after many countries withdrew in protest against the Gaza war. He also pointed out that the United States refused to grant visas to a Palestinian delegation for in-person participation, forcing President Mahmoud Abbas to speak remotely. Furthermore, Erdoğan noted the issuance of international arrest warrants against Netanyahu and the former Israeli Defense Minister for war crimes and crimes against humanity, clarifying that Turkey intends to pursue legal action against them. On the diplomatic front, Erdoğan mentioned that he held seven bilateral meetings with world leaders and engaged in various activities. He discussed domestic economic issues, including protecting citizens' rights and combating corruption. He affirmed that Turkey’s economy, valued at around two trillion dollars, is built on solid foundations and that the government is working on reforms to strengthen the financial market, condemning attempts by foreign media to tarnish Turkey’s economic image.
