Israel committing 'crimes against humanity' in Gaza: Erdogan

TEHRAN, Nov. 03 (MNA) – Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called for an immediate halt to the Israeli regime’s "crimes against humanity” in the Gaza Strip where Israeli raids in the past four weeks have killed more than 9,200 Palestinians.

Speaking at a summit in the Kazakh capital Astana on Friday, Erdogan said the occupying regime of Israel has been committing “crimes against humanity” for 28 days in the besieged Palestinian territory.

"There is no concept that could explain or excuse the brutality that we have witnessed since October 7," he said referring to the day Tel Aviv launched its relentless air attacks on the Gaza Strip after it was caught off-guard by Operation Al-Aqsa Storm by the Resistance movement Hamas on that day.

“To put it bluntly: crimes against humanity have been committed in Gaza for exactly 28 days,” he said.

"Our priority is to establish a humanitarian ceasefire quickly,” said the Turkish leader.

Erdogan said his government was working on "new mechanisms that will guarantee the security of everyone, regardless of whether they are Muslims, Christians or Jews.”

"Our efforts to lay the groundwork for an international peace conference continue.”
