Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan delivered a speech at the extraordinary summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation-Arab League held in Qatar on Monday.
Tel Aviv's attack, which targeted the negotiating team of Palestinian resistance group Hamas in Qatar, has taken "Israel's banditry" to a new level, Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in his address to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC)-Arab League Extraordinary Summit.
Erdoğan laid out the following key notes in his address:
"The Islamic world has the means and ability to thwart Israel's expansionist ambitions.
We must intensify our diplomatic efforts to increase sanctions against Israel. Israel must be cornered economically as well.
It is undeniable that the Netanyahu government's goal is to continue massacres and genocides in Palestine while also causing instability in the region.
We are facing (Israel's) terrorist mentality that feeds on chaos and blood, and a state that embodies it.
The Arab-Islamic summit in Doha demonstrates the Islamic world's unwavering support for Qatar. Türkiye always stands by its friendly and brotherly ally Qatar.
Israel's attack on the Hamas negotiating team in Qatar has taken 'Israel's banditry' to a different level.
Türkiye will continue its steadfast struggle until a Palestinian state is established on basis of 1967 borders, with territorial integrity and East Jerusalem as capital."
