ANKARA - Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Thursday that Western countries were not adhering to international law in Gaza because the "blood spilled is Muslims' blood," adding that Israeli attacks on Gaza were "barbaric."
In a speech at his presidential palace in Ankara, Erdogan blamed Western countries for providing unconditional support for Israeli attacks instead of calling for restraint.
Erdogan said that nobody should expect Turkey to remain silent in the face of the violence in Gaza.
He said there was no difference between Gazan, Palestinian, Israeli, and Syrian children in the eyes of Turkey. He also said Turkey would intensify its efforts with Egypt to get humanitarian aid into Gaza.
