MINISTER TUNÇ: ISRAEL'S ARMOUR OF IMPUNITY MUST BE BROKEN AND THOSE RESPONSIBLE MUST BE TRIED AS WAR CRIMINALS

Minister of Justice Yılmaz Tunç stated that the international community should take concrete steps against Israel, which cynically ignores the ceasefire calls and warnings of the international community, and said as follows: “Israel's armour of impunity must be broken and those responsible must be tried as war criminals.”

In a statement made on his social media account, Minister Tunç stated that he strongly cursed and condemned the occupying Israel, which organized brutal and inhumane attacks on Gaza, deliberately targeted women, children and civilians, and committed war crimes.

Stating that Israel systematically violates international law, human rights and basic humanitarian values, Minister Tunç noted as follows:

“I strongly condemn and curse the occupying Israel for its brutal and inhumane attacks on Gaza, deliberately targeting women, children and civilians and committing war crimes.

Genocidal Israel, which systematically violates international law, human rights and basic humanitarian values, exhibits one of the bloodiest examples of state terror with its barbaric massacres during Ramadan month.

The bloody attacks of Israel, which has no respect for life, no respect for any faith, and shows its dirty and treacherous face, clearly constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity under the Convention of 1948 on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, the Geneva Conventions and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.

Targeting civilian settlements, hospitals, places of worship and refugee camps, the baby killer Israel is subjecting Gaza to a systematic genocide in defiance of international law. This is a crime not only against the Palestinian people, but also against the common conscience of humanity.

The United Nations, the International Criminal Court and the international community must immediately take concrete steps against Israel, which cynically ignores calls for a ceasefire and warnings from the international community. Israel's armour of impunity must be broken and those responsible must be tried as war criminals.

I wish Allah's mercy to our Palestinian brothers and sisters, who lost their lives in the treacherous attacks, and a quick recovery to our wounded brothers and sisters.

As Türkiye, we will continue to stand by the Palestinian people in their just cause and their honourable resistance.

We will continue our struggle on every platform until the Palestinian territories and our Palestinian brothers and sisters are liberated.”
