“A couple of countries were monopolizing the UN and manipulate it as they want,” – said Prime Minister of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Nov. 20, speaking in the Parliament at a meeting of Justice and Development Party, headed by him. In his speech, he also accused Israel of “ethnic cleansing and terrorism.” “I appeal to the entire West that no one can say that Israel is using the right to defense. Israel is spreading terror in the Middle East” – said the Turkish prime minister.
“No one respects the United Nations in the world; the organization cannot cope with its responsibilities. On the issue of Israel, some members of the Security Council take negative position. Although the West led by the United States is for the resolution of the Palestinian problem on the basis of two states, quite different happens in practice. They do not see the genocide of children in Gaza. Therefore, I see Israel as a terrorist state. If we act, looking into the mouth of the UN Security Council members, then our position is not enviable. Today is the turn of the Palestinians, and tomorrow it will be our turn. If we should die, let us die like men,”- said Erdoğan.
Recall that Russia submitted a resolution draft for vote by the UN Security Council demanding an end to the violence in Gaza and called for a negotiation between the warring parties to resolve the Middle East problem.
