Turkey’s President Erdogan said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu must be referred to the International Criminal Court (ICC) for the atrocities carried out in Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

“Netanyahu is a goner. Even the Israeli people no longer support Netanyahu,” said Erdogan at the Algeria-Turkiye Business Forum.

“The attacks have once again revealed the true face, intention and purpose of Israel and its supporters. In this regard, it is very important that the war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by Israeli rulers are not left without sanctions.

“We cannot and will not tolerate the policy of Israel, which has grown by constantly occupying, seizing land and massacring the oppressed, to render Gaza uninhabited.”
