Turkey  has “crossed out” Benjamin Netanyahu: Erdogan

TEHRAN, Nov. 04 (MNA) – Turkey has “crossed out” Benjamin Netanyahu and will do everything to bring Israel's violation of human rights and war crimes to the International Criminal Court (ICC), President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Saturday.

The embattled premier “is no longer someone we can talk to, we have crossed him out,” Erdogan told reporters aboard the presidential plane returning from Kazakhstan, where he attended the Organization of Turkic States summit.

He said that Netanyahu has lost support of Israelia and he wants to garner support for massacres through religious rhetoric.

“I said something in my speech at the Palestine Rally. I announced that we would support initiatives that would bring Israel’s human rights violations and war crimes to the International Criminal Court. Our relevant authorities, especially our Foreign Ministry, will carry out this work,” the Turkish president added, according to Anadolu Agency. 

Erdogan also said Ankara “is ready to act as a guarantor country for Gaza” after clashes, reiterating Turkey’s support for the Gazan people amid Israel’s ongoing aggression.

The Israeli army has widened its air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip, which has been under relentless airstrikes since the surprise attack by the Palestinian Resistance movement Hamas on Oct. 7.

At least 9,227 Palestinians, mostly children and women, have been killed in Israeli attacks since then, while as many as 1,500 Zionist soldiers and settlers have also been killed, according to official figures.

Basic supplies are running low for Gaza’s 2.3 million residents due to the Israeli regime siege, in addition to the large number of casualties and displacements.
