[text/observer network qi qian] on september 24, local time, at the general debate of the 79th united nations general assembly, turkish president erdogan "opened fire" against israel, denouncing israel for carrying out "genocide" in the gaza strip and launching large-scale attacks in lebanon. he compared israeli prime minister netanyahu to hitler and called on the united nations and the international community to immediately stop such "cruel and barbaric" behavior.

according to türkiye's anadolu agency and al jazeera, erdogan delivered a speech at the un general assembly held in new york that day.

"in gaza, not only are children dying, the united nations system is also dying. the values ​​that the west claims to defend are dying, truth is dying, and humanity's hope for living in a more just world is being shattered one by one." erdogan harshly criticized the united nations for its "inaction" on the gaza issue and accused israel of turning the palestinian territory into "the world's largest cemetery for children and women."

“i’m asking you point blank here, ‘are the people living in gaza and the people in the occupied west bank not human beings? don’t palestinian children have rights?’” he said.

erdogan has been an outspoken critic of israel's military offensive on the gaza strip, condemning the netanyahu-led government for dragging the middle east into a deeper "war", urging the international community to stop "netanyahu and his murderous clique", and comparing netanyahu to hitler.

"just like hitler more than 70 years ago, netanyahu and his murderous cabal must be stopped by a 'coalition of humanity,'" he said.
