Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has denounced the UN Security Council after the United States vetoed a ceasefire resolution for Gaza, describing the international body as the “Israel protection council”, AFP reports.

“Since October 7, the security council has become an Israel protection and defence council,” Erdogan said.

“Is this justice?” asked Erdogan, adding that “the world is bigger than five,” a reference to the five veto-wielding nations in the UN Security Council.

“Another world is possible, but without America,” the Turkish leader said.

“The United States stands by Israel with its money and military equipment. Hey, America! How much are you going to pay for that?” he added.
