Why It Matters
A diplomatic row broke out between the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Turkish officials over President Erdogan's statements.
Head of Communications Burhanettin Duran made the following statements in his statement:
"The lowly and excessive statements of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs towards our President, Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, are another indicator of the political and moral impasse that the Israeli administration has fallen into, instead of being held accountable for the genocide and ecological disaster it committed in Gaza, and resorting to the language of insults and propaganda.
At the COP31 Leaders Summit (#COP31Turkey), our President drew attention to the humanitarian disaster in Gaza, as well as the destruction of centuries-old olive trees, pollution of water resources and turning cities into rubble.
"As Turkey, under the leadership of our President, we will continue to stand by the Palestinian people's struggle for freedom, justice and independence, to raise our voice against the oppression they are subjected to, and to work for permanent peace on the basis of a two-state solution."
