According to the Turkish leader, Ankara is backing Palestine at all international venues

ISTANBUL, November 25. /TASS/. Turkey will continue supporting the Palestinian people until the conflict in Gaza comes to an end, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan pledged.

"We will support our brothers and sisters with all our might and means until the genocide is ended and Gaza and Palestine are completely liberated," the TRT Haber television channel quoted him as saying after a cabinet meeting.

According to Erdogan, Ankara is backing Palestine at all international venues.

"In these trying times, we are trying to fulfill our brotherly duty to the Palestinian people, Palestine’s oppressed population. The circle around [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu and his network of killers is tightening. The International Criminal Court’s arrest warrants for Netanyahu and [former Defense Minister Yoav] Gallant are a very bold step on this track," the Turkish leader stressed.

On November 21, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant for suspected war crimes and crimes against humanity that were committed at least between October 8, 2023 to May 20, 2024 in Palestine, including in the Gaza Strip. According to the Pre-Trial Chamber, the two are responsible for such crimes as murder, persecution and other inhumane actions, as well as for deliberately starving the civilian population as a means of warfare.
