Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that the chance for peace in Gaza has waned and is considered lost after the end of the humanitarian pause as a result of "Israel's" approach, as reported by broadcaster NTV on Saturday.

On his return from attending the COP28 summit in the United Arab Emirates, he expressed not losing hope for achieving peace in the conflict and noted that Palestinian Resistance Hamas cannot be excluded from the potential solution.

On a separate note, he hoped his visit to Greece next week would launch a new chapter in Ankara-Athens relations, according to Turkish media on Saturday.

Additionally, he informed reporters that although there are differences of opinion on some matters between both nations, there is also a chance for improvement.

Blatant 'state terrorism'

On his trip, Erdogan voiced his expectation of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to implement accountability for the "butchers of Gaza," namely Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Upon stressing the need to provide necessary punishments for those caught in reported incidents in Gaza, Erdogan assured that the proceedings in the Hague would be closely monitored in hopes that the ruling would bring justice.

"This is state terrorism," he said of "Israel's" actions, "We cannot stay silent against this state terrorism."

Erdogan described Netanyahu's administration as a "black stain" in history, noting that nations unconditionally supporting it are "stained as well."

"Israeli officials, who have been known as victims of genocide, have now turned into killers of their ancestors," he expressed.

Neglecting Gaza's genocide

This comes after Erdogan described "Israel's" crimes as "occupier terrorism" constituting "genocide". 

In a direct quote, Erdogan said on November 22, "We [country officials] must compel Israel to comply with international law and be held accountable for its actions. We should also break the blockade in the UN," and declared that "everyone, including foreign officials" wants Netanyahu gone.

He went on to criticize politicians who have chosen to ignore the genocide in Gaza and warned them against the "democratic response of the people" as the public conscience has been shifted in favor of Palestine. 

The Turkish president also acknowledged that Hamas fighters are Resistance fighters striving to safeguard their territories and people.
