Israeli Intends to Continue Occupation, Genocide, Turkish Official Says
Turkey’s communications director, Burhanetin Duran said on Tuesday that Tel Aviv has no agenda for peace.
"On the contrary, it intends to continue the occupation and genocide. This latest attack has once again laid bare that Israel poses a threat to regional peace and tranquility," he stated on Turkish social media platform NSosyal Tuesday.
Duran called on the global community to demonstrate its resolve in condemning the Israeli regime's genocidal policies.
Turkey will continue to defend the Palestinian cause and stand firmly against oppression, standing with the oppressed, as the voice of justice and humanity, he added.
The Israeli army launched a series of air and artillery strikes across the Gaza Strip on Tuesday following orders from prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to immediately carryout "forceful" strikes in the enclave over alleged ceasefire violations by Hamas.
More than 100 Palestinians, including 35 children, have been killed in the attacks.
The ceasefire agreement has been in place in Gaza since Oct. 10 under US President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan, which includes the release of Israeli captives in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and rebuilding of the enclave.
