Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan attacked Israel in a speech before the UN General Assembly, describing the Gaza Strip as a "death camp" and "the world's largest children's cemetery." Erdogan accused Israel of practicing "state terrorism," asserting that over 74,000 Palestinians have lost their lives in the Strip in the past three years. He also noted that the occupied West Bank suffers from settler violence and criticized the denial of Muslim and Christian access to holy sites in Jerusalem. Erdogan expressed regret over the absence of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas from UN meetings for the second year, calling on states to recognize a Palestinian state. He criticized the UN's performance, stating it is no longer capable of maintaining peace. He noted that the number of martyrs in Gaza since the ceasefire has exceeded 1,500, and that the Palestinian resistance agreed to move to the second phase of the peace plan while Israel refuses to end the occupation. He called for starting the reconstruction of Gaza and warned against the continuation of a "genocidal mentality insatiable for killing."
