Turkiye providing documents for genocide hearings against Israel: Erdogan

Turkiye is providing documents for a case brought by South Africa against Israel at the UN’s top court on a charge of committing genocide against Palestinian civilians, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said today.

According to Reuters, Erdogan said that Turkiye would continue to provide documents, mostly visuals, on Israel’s attacks on Gaza.

“I believe Israel will be convicted there. We believe in the justice of the International Court of Justice”, Erdogan said.

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz described Erdogan as the president of “a country with the Armenian genocide in its past”, and that he was targeting Israel with “unfounded claims”.
