Standing Strong for the Voiceless: Erdogan’s Powerful Pledge to the UN Future Summit
President Erdoğan Addresses the United Nations Future Summit
President Erdoğan emphasized the need for peace and a stronger international stance against Israel’s occupation policies in a video message to the United Nations Future Summit.
Key Takeaways from Erdoğan’s Statement
We need peace. Challenges such as terrorism, Islamophobia and xenophobia, irregular migration and climate change increase the severity of geopolitical shocks. We have been seeing the most painful example of this in the occupied Palestinian territories, especially in Gaza, for 11 months.
We are facing a devastating picture where more than 41 thousand people, including 17 thousand children, lost their lives, more than 100 thousand were injured, and almost the whole of Gaza was destroyed. It is essential that the voice of the international community, especially the United Nations, is louder against Israel’s occupation policies.
In truth, none of us can feel safe in a world where children die under bombs. As Türkiye, we will continue to stand against oppression and on the side of the oppressed, and we will not step back from our humanitarian stance.
