Fahrettin Altun, Head of Communications of the Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye, called the West's support for Israel "abhorrent" in light of its attacks on Gaza and stated that Türkiye will continue to support Palestine.
In Altun's post on X, he shared: "Israel is, once again, showing the world that it is only interested in bloodshed, war, and occupation. They have been routinely violating the ceasefire agreement and now want to resume their ethnic cleansing activities. They insist on disregarding the international law and all norms of human decency. While the Western media portrays this as a 'surprise' attack, we are not surprised by this massacre, that is exactly befitting of the Israeli policy of genocide. The 'civilised world' has consistently failed to call out slaughter of tens of thousands, and they appear 'surprised' by yet another chapter in Israel’s campaign to systematically murder innocent civilians."
Noting that it is abhorrent that the Western countries continue to give material support to this genocidal regime in Tel Aviv, Altun continued:
"Our Palestinian brothers and sisters have always shown strength and conviction in their struggle against colonialist occupiers... They will never bow down to oppressors. Those in the Israeli government know this well, and they are helpless in the face of such resistance. As Türkiye, we will always stand by our Palestinian brothers and sisters."
