Erdogan Slams Israel’s ‘Genocidal Mindset’ in Blistering UN Address
- On Tuesday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan addressed the 81st United Nations General Assembly, condemning Israeli actions in Gaza and the West Bank while accusing the institution of systemic dysfunction.
- The Israeli delegation walked out during the speech, while Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas remained absent after the United States rejected his visa application for the second consecutive year.
- Erdoğan described Gaza as "the world's largest graveyard for children," asserting that more than 1,300 civilians have been killed despite a ceasefire, with over 70% of hospital generators currently out of service.

- Beyond the Middle East, Erdoğan advocated for a settlement preserving Ukraine's territorial integrity while condemning rising xenophobia and "global gender-neutralisation policies" as threats to families and children.
