Israel has failed to honour its commitments, Recep Tayyip Erdogan says, pledging increased support for Palestinians. <\/p><\/div>\n\n\n

By Gizem Nisa Demir<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ISTANBUL (AA) – Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday said Israel has failed to honour its commitments and is deliberately obstructing humanitarian aid to Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIsrael is not keeping its word and is constantly creating difficulties and obstacles to the entry of humanitarian aid with fabricated excuses,\u201d Erdogan said, speaking at the Justice and Development (AK) Party\u2019s extended provincial heads meeting in Ankara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erdogan said: \u201cEven though a ceasefire has been established in Gaza since October 11, hardships continue in residential areas that Israel has turned into rubble.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said T\u00fcrkiye would increase its support for Palestinians in the coming period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuring the blessed three months, we will increase our aid to Palestine. As T\u00fcrkiye, we will not back down, we will not remain silent, we will not forget, and we will never leave Gaza alone,\u201d Erdogan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Positioning T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s stance as part of a broader humanitarian policy, Erdogan said the country has consistently come to the aid of those in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom the Caucasus to the Balkans, from Africa to Asia, whoever has been in distress, we have rushed to their aid. This was the case yesterday, it is the case today, and it will never change tomorrow,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erdogan stressed that while T\u00fcrkiye supports peace, it will not accept injustice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEveryone should know that, as in the past, we are in favour of peace and calm today as well. But this does not mean that we consent to injustice or remain silent in the face of oppression. Never,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also said T\u00fcrkiye would firmly defend its rights in regional disputes. \u201cWhether in the Eastern Mediterranean, the Aegean, or anywhere else, we neither infringe on anyone\u2019s rights nor allow our own rights to be violated,\u201d Erdogan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turning to domestic security, Erdogan said T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s push for a \u201cterror-free T\u00fcrkiye\u201d has begun to ease pessimism beyond its borders, adding that Arab, Kurdish, Turkmen, Sunni and Shiite communities are looking to the future with renewed hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cT\u00fcrkiye has finally embarked on a path of peace, security, development and prosperity, and God willing, it will walk this path patiently to the very end,\u201d he said. – Anadulo Agency<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
