ISTANBUL
Türkiye on Thursday “strongly” condemned an Israeli airstrike on hospital in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza that killed dozens of Palestinians, mostly women and children.
“These continued attacks demonstrate the need for sanctions against Israel, particularly an arms embargo,” the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
The ministry reiterated that “those who support genocidal Israel government are complicit in these crimes.”
At least 66 Palestinians were killed in the airstrike on a residential square near the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia early Thursday, according to medical sources.
Overall, Israel has killed nearly 44,000 people in the Gaza Strip since the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attacks and is accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice.
