Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has said the silence of the West on Israel’s Gaza attacks implies the approval of lawlessness around the world, Anadolu Agency reports.

“Being silent on Israel’s lawlessness in Gaza is tantamount to giving the green light to other lawlessness around the world,” Fidan said in a joint news conference with his Bosnian counterpart in Ankara.

The inhumane attacks still go on in Gaza, which is indeed a “source of shame,” he said.

“In order to break down the resistance, the mosques, hospitals, and schools are bombed and we cannot keep our silence regarding those attacks,” Fidan added.
