Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan attacked Israel, describing it as a “terrorist state” and accused it, through his speech before the mandate, of committing war crimes and violating international law in Gaza, and he expressed his view that the Hamas movement is not a terrorist organization. This coincided with the acquisition of the army operating in the large hospital. In the sector.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday described Israel as a "terrorist state" and said it was committing "war crimes and violating international law in Gaza," reiterating his position that the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) is not a terrorist organization.
Speaking to lawmakers in Parliament, Erdogan also called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to announce whether Israel possesses nuclear bombs or not, and said that the Israeli prime minister is “leaving” from his position.
Erdogan said: “If Israel continues its massacre, the entire world will condemn it as a terrorist state.” He described Hamas as a political party elected by the Palestinians.
The Turkish President continued: "There is genocide being committed in Gaza, and Turkey will take steps on the international scene to stop it." He added: "Turkey will work on the international scene to ensure that Israeli settlers are considered terrorists."
Erdogan's statements coincided with the Israeli army's storming of Al-Shifa Hospital, the largest medical complex in Gaza, while Tel Aviv said it was a "precise and directed" operation against members of the Hamas movement.
Human Rights, the United Nations, the Security Council, Human Rights Watch, and Amnesty have all proven to be tools of legal cover for Israel’s crimes of murder and genocide.

More than 100 children have been killed every day since Israel started bombing the besieged Palestinian enclave on October 7.
One child is killed every 15 minutes in the Israeli bombings of Gaza, according to a Palestinian NGO, highlighting the toll the current war has exacted on children.
More than 100 children have been killed every day since Israel started bombing the besieged Palestinian enclave on October 7 in the wake of the deadly Hamas attack. More than 3,400 Palestinians have been killed in the deadliest Israeli assault in decades.
“We are witnessing a genocide in real time,” a spokesperson for The Defense for Children International – Palestine (DCIP) said.
At least 14 children were reportedly also among the 1,400 Israeli victims of the October 7 Hamas attack. About 200 people taken captive by Hamas also include children. Israel has not released data on the demographics of all of those killed in that attack.
Aren’t children legally protected in wars?
Yes, they’re meant to be. Internationally accepted rules of armed conflict were passed under the Geneva Conventions in 1949, which state children must be protected and treated humanely.
Israel ratified the conventions in 1951, just a few years after one and a half million Jewish children were killed in Europe during the Holocaust. But Israel does not recognise the 4th Geneva convention, which protects civilians fighting an occupation, as it as it doesn’t consider Palestine to be occupied land.
The disproportionate use of military might in Gaza is being billed by Israel as a legitimate means to destroy Hamas. And so civilian deaths tallied up in the attacks, including children, do not qualify as war crimes, Israel claims.
What effect is the war having on children?
Parents, like Esra Abu Ghazzah, try to find ways to calm their children from the bombings and destruction around them. The 30-year-old mother told Al Jazeera her children, aged eight and two, have started to vomit after air strikes, and are also wetting the bed. Both are responses to heightened fear.
The Abu Ghazzah children are part of the 95 percent of Palestinian children in Gaza who are living with the psychological effects of war.
