Addressing his party’s parliamentary group meeting on Wednesday, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made it to annals of history as ‘butcher of Gaza’ due to “one of the biggest atrocities he carried out in Gaza.’ The president said statements by the Netanyahu administration reduced their hopes for current humanitarian pause to be turned into a lasting truce.

Erdoğan added that Netanyahu’s actions fueled anti-Semitism and endangered lives of Jews across the globe. He also reiterated Türkiye’s commitment to ensure that the Israeli administration was held accountable for crimes they committed before the international courts.
