April 16 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The president of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, criticized this Tuesday the international double standard regarding the attack by Iran and assured that the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is the “main responsible” for this increase in hostilities in the Middle East .
Erdogan recalled that it was Israel's attacks that killed “more than 34,000 people – although there are about 33,800 – among them women, children, babies, civilians” and “members of the press who had no other purpose.” to report, has destroyed schools, churches, mosques and refugee camps,” he listed.
“He is none other than Netanyahu, who has bombed people waiting to buy aid, committed genocide before the eyes of the entire world for 193 days and shown all kinds of brazenness to reduce public pressure,” he said.
For Erdogan, it is “an indisputable fact” that Prime Minister Netanyahu is “mainly responsible” for the tension in the Middle East, as well as for Iran's attacks last weekend in response to the Israeli attack on its Consulate. in Damascus, Syria.
In that sense, he has questioned those who have not spoken out against Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip, but who “immediately ran” to condemn the Iranian response, reports the Turkish news agency Anatolia.
Erdogan has stressed that the “only victims” are the Palestinian citizens of the Gaza Strip and has called for more commitment from the international community, especially Arab and Islamic countries, towards them. “We will continue to push all the doors and do everything we can,” he said.
“All parties must be aware of this truth. Constantly raising your hand on tensions will lead nowhere. Adding fuel to the fire and constantly coddling the Netanyahu administration will not serve any purpose,” the Turkish president insisted.
