Israel’s “occupier terrorism” in Gaza and other Palestinian territories are crimes against humanity which constitute “genocide,” said Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday, Anadolu Agency reports.

“We must compel Israel to comply with international law and be held accountable for its actions. We should also break the blockade in the UN,” Erdogan told journalists on his return flight from Algeria.

He also said ending the siege of Gaza is possible only through steps taken by not just a few countries but by all Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and Arab League member countries.
