Erdoğan: Gaza crisis has become indicator of bankruptcy of global system

In his address, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan drew attention to the current Gaza conflict and its impact on the global system. He described this as a pivotal moment for world politics, emphasizing the void of power within the international community and the erosion of ethical values.

"With the Gaza crisis, the global system has become bankrupt. World politics is navigating one of its harpest turns," Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan stressed in his speech while drawing attention to a 'serious power vacuum' in the international system, 'loss of morality, and conscience'.
"In the face of this oppression, which should normally awaken humanity, the UN Security Council remains silent," Erdoğan underlined by referring to Israel's genocidal attacks on the Gaza Strip.
"Perpetrators of genocide should not be at the podiums of legislative chambers, but in courtrooms where they will account for their crimes," Erdoğan added.
"Those who applaud lies of today's Hitler, Netanyahu, will never be able to wash off the dark stain on their hands for the rest of their lives," the Turkish leader said in a statement while blasting the speech delivered by the war criminal Israeli PM in the U.S. Congress.
Erdoğan said unbearable images of the "genocide" have been emerging daily from Gaza, which has been under Israeli attack for nearly 10 months, claiming the lives of almost 40,000 "innocent" people, including more than 16,000 children.
"Israel does not only kill Gazans with bombs and bullets. It also kills them by leaving them hungry, thirsty and without food," he added.
"A rogue state, which has become increasingly cruel, spoiled and depraved, has displayed all manners of barbarism for 300 days against 2.3 million people, squeezed into a palm-sized piece of land," Erdoğan said.
The perpetrators of genocide "should not be at podiums of legislative chambers," but in courtrooms where they will account for their crimes, he added.
Erdoğan said the assassination last week of Ismail Haniyeh, political bureau chief of the Palestinian group Hamas, could not be viewed independent of the standing applause that Netanyahu received in a recent visit to the US Congress.
"Those horrific images not only deeply hurt the Palestinian people but, even worse, have spoiled Netanyahu," he said.
While the entire world was waiting for Israel to be convinced to accept a cease-fire, the result was the assassination of the negotiator in a "treacherous attack," he added.
"No reasonable and sensible person can consider such a situation normal."
"Anyone who knew Ismail Haniyeh or had worked with him even a little would know very well what a courageous advocate he was."
Last week, both Iran and Hamas accused Israel of assassinating Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas' political bureau, in Iran's capital Tehran, an accusation that Israel has neither confirmed nor denied. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hinted at Israel's involvement.
"There is 'digital fascism that cannot even tolerate photos of Palestinian martyrs and bans them instantly, yet markets this as freedom. Social media platforms show great care in adhering to rules in the US, and Europe, but deliberately withhold the same diligence when it comes to Türkiye," Erdoğan underlined by especially hitting out social media giant Meta's pro-Israel policy.
Flouting a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire, Israel has faced international condemnation amid its continued brutal offensive on Gaza since an Oct. 7, 2023 attack by Hamas.
Almost 10 months into the Israeli war, vast tracts of Gaza lie in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water, and medicine.
Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, which ordered it to immediately halt its military operation in the southern city of Rafah, where more than 1 million Palestinians had sought refuge from the war before it was invaded on May 6.
