He spoke at a meeting of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party) at Halik Congress Center in Istanbul on Saturday (October 5).
Erdogan said that Israel's talk of aggression by Hamas and Hezbollah is just an excuse. Israel is daily making excuses for its policy of occupation and aggression.
Erdogan also noted that Türkiye will continue to stand in solidarity with the Palestinians. Türkiye is the only country that has imposed economic sanctions on Israel. He said, we have maintained the same standards since day one. Even in the United Nations, our voice will never be left behind. Türkiye will always fight against the oppressor.
He criticized the western countries and said that they claim to be the defenders of their freedom. But they failed to support Palestinian children's rights protesters. Erdogan said, they can't even stand the Palestinian flag. When it comes to terrorist groups, they are ready to protest but continue to defend hardline fascism in the case of Palestine.
