Those who don't stop Israel's war crimes, genocide to be held accountable: Turkish president
'Those who kill children, emboldened by powers they rely on, God willing, will drown in blood of innocents,' Recep Tayyip Erdogan says
ISTANBUL
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Thursday that those who do not stop Israel's war crimes and genocide in the Gaza Strip will be held accountable in history and humanity's conscience, sooner or later.
"Those who kill children, emboldened by the powers they rely on, God willing, will drown in the blood of innocents," Erdogan said at an iftar, or fast-breaking meal, in Ankara.
He reiterated Türkiye's support for Palestinians "with all our strength" and determination to be "on the right side of history."
Erdogan said that by breaking a ceasefire deal with the Palestine resistance group, Hamas, that was signed in January, Tel Aviv continues its massacre and genocide policy in Gaza with full brutality.
He said in the new attacks launched Tuesday by Israel, more than 500 Palestinians, most of them children and women, have been 'martyred.'
