Türkiye has condemned Israel’s latest attacks on Gaza, saying they showed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government had no genuine intention of pursuing peace with the Palestinians.
The Foreign Ministry said Israel had killed more than 30 civilians and targeted health facilities after an agreement was reached on a roadmap intended to advance the implementation of the Gaza peace plan.
“Israel’s killing of more than 30 civilians in Gaza and its targeting of health facilities ... has once again demonstrated that the Netanyahu government has no genuine intention of pursuing peace with the Palestinian people,” the ministry said on Aug. 2.
