Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan took to social media platform X on Saturday to demand that "Israel" snap out of it immediately and get out of "the state of insanity" by ceasing its attacks on Gaza. 

"The continuing Israeli bombings of Gaza, which intensified last night, have once again targeted women, children and innocent civilians, aggravating the humanitarian crisis. Israel must immediately come out of this state of insanity and stop its attacks," Erdogan said on X.

Gazze’ye yönelik sürekli artan ve dün gece yoÄŸunlaÅŸan İsrail bombardımanları yine kadınları, çocukları, masum sivilleri hedef almış, yaÅŸanan insani krizi derinleÅŸtirmiÅŸtir.

İsrail derhâl bu cinnet halinden çıkmalı ve saldırılarını durdurmalıdır.…

— Recep Tayyip ErdoÄŸan (@RTErdogan) October 28, 2023

He continued to announce a rally in support of Palestine at Ataturk Airport in Istanbul to "step up the calls and declare" that his country is "against Israeli oppression."

Then, in a speech at a pro-Palestine rally in Istanbul on Saturday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan criticized Western countries' approaches regarding Palestine.

Western countries are the most important responsible for the current events in Gaza, he said, adding that they fully support the child killers in Gaza.

“Israel, we will proclaim you as a war criminal to the world,” Erdogan said. “We are making our preparations, and we will declare Israel to the world as a war criminal.”

Those who shed crocodile tears for Ukraine; now they are silent about the developments in Gaza, he added.

Those who were worried about Ukraine support "Israel" today, he said, adding that they are complicit in the spilled blood.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Erdogan said that the Israeli occupation and some other parties are behind the scenes of some terrorist groups in northern Syria and Iraq.

Of course, according to Erdogan, "Israel" will not last even 3 days without the support of Western countries.

Erdogan has distinctly separated his position from that of Western countries concerning the Israeli aggression on Gaza, stating that Hamas is not a terrorist organization, calling it for what it is; a liberation group defending its country and people.

Erdogan communicated his views firmly to lawmakers from his ruling AK Party, advocating for an immediate ceasefire between the occupation entity and Palestinian Resistance factions. He urged Muslim countries to unite to establish enduring peace in the region.

"Hamas is not a terrorist organization, it is a liberation group, 'mujahideen' waging a battle to protect its lands and people," Erdogan emphasized earlier, as he expressed strong criticism of Western powers for their endorsement of the Israeli aggression on Gaza, labeling their sympathies as "Western tears shed for Israel are a manifestation of fraud."

Turkey's Defense Ministry announced this week that the nation's air force, under the command of Erdogan, is organizing four flights carrying humanitarian aid for the Gaza Strip.

Turkish drone manufacturer Baykar promised the Gaza Strip $10 million in humanitarian aid last week.
