President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan held an interview with journalists on the plane during his return from a visit to the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC).
Erdoğan laid out the following keynotes in his comments:
"Israel must face the consequences for its actions severe enough to deter anyone from considering such cruelty again.
I hope last week's ICJ opinion, previous ones not implemented by Israel, will bring an awakening in the international community.
The US administration should pressure Israel, withdraw support for 'murderer Netanyahu' and his associates to end oppression in Gaza.
Complicity in massacres in Israel would serve neither Greek Cypriots nor Greece."
The top UN court ruled on Friday that Israel should end its occupation of the Palestinian territories "as rapidly as possible" while also calling on Tel Aviv to make full reparations for its "internationally wrongful acts."
The court found multiple breaches of international law by Israel including activities that amounted to apartheid.
Since Tel Aviv launched its brutal war on Oct. 7, nearly 39,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, most of them women and children, while more than 89,600 others are injured, according to Gaza's local health authorities.
