ANKARA, Saturday, July 13, 2024 (WAFA) – Türkiye today condemned Israel’s continued targeting of civilians in the war-torn Gaza Strip.
“Israel's attack on Palestinians sheltering in al-Mawasi, designated by Israel as a "safe zone" in the city of Khan Younis, and the massacre of dozens of civilians is a phase in the Netanyahu Government's efforts to completely annihilate the Palestinians,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Türkiye said in a press statement.
It slammed Israel for evading a ceasefire and inflicting the greatest human bloodshed on defenceless civilians in the Strip.
“While Israel is expected to reciprocate Hamas' positive response to the ceasefire, its preference for bloodshed proves once again that the Netanyahu Government is trying to prevent the negotiation of a lasting ceasefire.”
It urged all countries to end their complicity in the Israeli genocidal war on the Strip.
“The countries that support Israel must put an end to this barbarity,” it concluded.
