Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey's President, stated Thursday that the genocide in Gaza is a "shame of humanity," urging further efforts to establish a lasting ceasefire.

After landing in Tirana for the first leg of a Balkan visit, Erdogan stated during a news conference with Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama that the international community should "guarantee a permanent ceasefire and exert the necessary pressure on Israel."

"The genocide that has been going on in Gaza for the past year is the common shame of all humanity," Erdogan expressed.

Erdogan had referred to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the "butcher of Gaza" and likened him to Adolf Hitler of Nazi Germany. "The aggression led by the Netanyahu government now threatens the world order beyond the region," Erdogan stated on Sunday. 

Earlier on Monday, Erdogan stated that “Israel” will face consequences for the genocide it is committing in Gaza, adding that “it should not be forgotten that Israel will sooner or later pay the price for this genocide that it has been carrying out for a year and is still continuing."
 
In an X post, he explained that “just as Hitler was stopped by an alliance of humanity, Netanyahu and his murder network will be stopped in the same way."
 
“A world in which no account is held for the Gaza genocide will never find peace.”

In April 2024, Turkey implemented targeted trade restrictions against “Israel”, which included limiting specific imports and exports. 
 
The situation escalated further when Turkey announced a complete trade ban in May, insisting that it would remain until a ceasefire and humanitarian aid were established.
 
Despite the trade ban, there are indications that some economic interactions might continue, such as the ongoing supply of Azerbaijani oil to “Israel” through Turkey.

'Israel' committing crime against humanity of extermination: UN probe

A UN panel concluded on Thursday that "Israel" engaged in "war crimes and the crime against humanity of extermination with relentless and deliberate attacks on medical personnel and facilities," Reuters reported.

In a statement, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay accused the Israeli occupation of "relentless and deliberate attacks on medical personnel and facilities" throughout the aggression, adding that “children, in particular, have borne the brunt of these attacks, suffering both directly and indirectly from the collapse of the health system."

Pillay's report will be delivered to the United Nations General Assembly on October 30.

According to Reuters, the UN inquiry's statement also accused Israeli troops of purposefully murdering and torturing medical professionals, targeting medical trucks, and denying patients permission to exit the Gaza Strip. 

The World Health Organization (WHO) released a special report Tuesday detailing the dire health conditions in Gaza and Lebanon as a result of the ongoing Israeli aggression, revealing paramount Israeli criminality in the region with over 1,000 healthcare workers in Gaza killed since the genocide began.

One example is the killing of 5-year-old Hind Rajab, as well as family members and two paramedics who came to her aid after being shot at by Israeli troops. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 10,000 people in need of urgent medical evacuation have been unable to leave Gaza since the Rafah border crossing with Egypt was closed in May.
