ANKARA, Monday, May 27, 2024 (WAFA) - In response to the social media message posted by the Israeli Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said that his disrespectful tone and baseless accusations against Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, are futile attempts to shift attention away from Israel's crimes in Palestine.

“Israeli Foreign Minister Katz's disrespectful tone and baseless accusations against President Erdoğan are a futile attempt to change the agenda about Israel's crimes in Palestine.”

“It is the Netanyahu Government that has killed nearly 40,000 Palestinians since October and barbarically massacred dozens of innocent Palestinians in an attack on a tent camp last night. All those complicit in these crimes will be brought to justice before international courts,” said the ministry in a press release.

“As Türkiye, we will continue to advocate for justice and the rights of Palestinians.”
