Erdogan calls Gaza suffering 'most embarrassing concentration camp' in UNGA speech
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told the UNGA that the UNSC must be reformed and called on Israel to end the war in Gaza.
During his speech at the United Nations General Assembly, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan labeled the Gaza situation as the world's most inhumane concentration camp. He expressed deep concern over the United Nations' inability to uphold its duty of maintaining peace and security. Erdogan called for reforms in the Security Council, arguing that a system where the decisions of more than 190 nations are subject to five nations is neither just nor effective.
He urged nations that do not recognize a Palestinian state to reconsider their stance and increased pressure on Israel to cease the war in Gaza. Turkey, a NATO member, has been a vocal critic of Israel's actions in Gaza, alleging genocide. Israel, however, denies these claims.
