After speaking at the G20 Leaders Summit held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, President Erdoğan said, "Israel is committing crimes against humanity."

"COERCIVE MEASURES AGAINST ISRAEL ARE NECESSARY"

Erdoğan continued: As Turkey, we have been one of the countries providing the most humanitarian aid relative to our national income since 2015. Turkey is always by the side of those in need. We are reaching out to our brothers in Gaza and Lebanon. We are the country that provides the most support to Palestine, which is struggling to survive against Israeli attacks. We are reaching out to our brothers. As I have expressed on every occasion, the world is bigger than five. There must be reform in the UN Security Council. The G20 has an important function as a platform with high representation capability. I must say with all sincerity that our world has never faced a period with multiple wars and genocides at the same time. 96% of the population in Gaza cannot access healthy food and water. The Israeli government is committing crimes against humanity by blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza. We are witnessing the dramas of children risking their lives to reach a meal under heavy bombardment. Our letter demanding the cessation of arms and ammunition shipments to Israel has been published as a UN document. The humanitarian cost of the state terrorism that Israel has unleashed in our region with the support of Western powers is increasing every day. Coercive measures against Israel are necessary. The new US administration must be bolder on the path to peace. Even if we stand alone, we are on the side of the oppressed.

After his statements, President Erdoğan answered questions from the press. In response to a question from a foreign journalist regarding BRICS, Erdoğan replied, "Our discussions are ongoing."

Another question was about the threat of 'nuclear weapons.' Erdoğan responded, "We are taking steps to recommend peace to the parties."
