Turkish Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz said that Israel’s actions pose a threat not only to Gaza and the region, but also to humanity and global peace and justice.
In statements to the Turkish channel TRT Haber on Wednesday, he stated that the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is implementing a policy targeting the entire Palestinian people, not just in Gaza, but throughout Palestine.
Yilmaz pointed out that “Israel” continues its aggressive actions and policies that create instability in the countries of the region.
He pointed out Türkiye’s condemnation and denunciation of the attack on Qatar, expressing its solidarity with all countries in the region in confronting the illegal Israeli attacks.
He continued, “We certainly expect increased pressure on Israel. These Israeli practices are extremely dangerous not only to Gaza and the region, but also to humanity and global peace and justice.”
Yilmaz stated that Israel’s practices have emptied the concept of justice of its content at the international level, as well as all international institutions and rules.
He added: “They are effectively placing themselves above all laws, rules, and institutions, and this is increasingly undermining global confidence in justice, institutions, and rules. Therefore, as a humanitarian coalition, we must not remain silent in the face of these events. We must together do everything we can.”
Yilmaz explained that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has loudly declared Ankara’s position on the issue at every opportunity.
On Tuesday, Qatar announced that Israel had launched a “cowardly attack targeting the residential headquarters of several members of Hamas’s political bureau in Doha.”
Meanwhile, Hamas announced that its negotiating delegation, led by its head in Gaza, Khalil al-Hayya, survived an assassination attempt. The assassination attempt killed his office director, Jihad Labad, his son, Humam al-Hayya, and three bodyguards: Abdullah Abdul Wahid, Moamen Hassouna, and Ahmed al-Mamluk, as well as Qatari security officer Badr al-Humaidi.
