Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday a return to conflict in Gaza would “come at a very high cost.”
“We are well aware of Israel’s poor track record when it comes to keeping its promises. They have broken their commitments using flimsy excuses and, unfortunately, betrayed the agreements they signed,” Erdogan told a rally in northern Türkiye. “Returning to an environment of genocide would come at a very high cost.”
Türkiye has frequently accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, an accusation Israel denies.
Erdogan stressed the importance of swiftly getting humanitarian aid to Gaza, adding that Turkish ships were docked at a port in Egypt, waiting to deliver aid.
