Reminding that Netanyahu had an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity, Duran said, "Genocidal Netanyahu's use of the UN platform to make unfounded accusations against Turkey and our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, is incompatible with the ideals of peace, law and dialogue represented by the United Nations."
Duran continued his words as follows:
"Netanyahu's outrageous and vile words targeting our President cannot make his massacres, the humanitarian disaster in Gaza, and the processes before international law invisible. This situation is also seen by the international community and Netanyahu has become more isolated than ever.
