Turkiye’s foreign minister has blasted the US for blocking UN resolutions for a ceasefire in Gaza, TRT World reports.

“Only the US stands between massacre and ceasefire in Gaza,” said Hakan Fidan on Thursday.

“It should no longer block any UN ceasefire resolutions,” he added, referring to the widely criticised US vetoes of two UN Security Council ceasefire resolutions in October and earlier this month.

“The way Western countries, which brag about their morals, are complicit in the Gaza massacre points towards the collapse of the current global system,” he said, adding that the tide is turning and “humanity is coming back to its senses” on Gaza.
