Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan says, “Israel is not only committing genocide in Gaza, but it is now extending this war to the West Bank, Lebanon, and potentially other nations it deems as enemies which we cannot know or predict”.

Fidan said at a joint press conference with his Slovenian counterpart in Ljubljana that Israel has been carrying out occupation, oppression, cruelty, and massacre in the region and called on the international community to stop Israeli crimes being committed in the Palestinian territories, according to Al Jazeera. 

“The Netanyahu government continues to play with fire. It is endangering the future of the entire region to maintain its position. Everyone who remains silent on the Gaza issue, especially those who support Israel unconditionally, is under a burden. Israel’s barbarity must finally come to an end,” he said.

The minister also called on the international community to use all available diplomatic pressure mechanisms to stop the war.
