Biden complicit in Israeli 'war crimes': Erdogan
Jul 12, 2024
Ankara [Turkey], July 12: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said US President Joe Biden and his administration are complicit in Israeli "war crimes" and violations of international law in Gaza.
In an interview with Newsweek during the NATO summit in Washington, DC, Erdogan highlighted Israel's "brutal murder" of civilians and its strikes on hospitals, aid centres and elsewhere.
"The US administration, however, disregards these violations and provides Israel with the most support. They do so at the expense of being complicit in these violations," Erdogan said.
"At this juncture, who will impose what kind of sanction against Israel for violating international law? That is the real question and no one is answering that."
Israel has consistently rejected accusations it breached international law and denied deliberately targeting civilians. Turkey has repeatedly condemned Israel's assault on Gaza, criticised Western countries for backing Israel and called for Israel to be punished by international courts. (Agencies)
