ANKARA

Türkiye maintains its role as a leading provider of humanitarian aid to Gaza, the country’s president said Tuesday, pointing to the dispatch of its ninth vessel carrying 3,774 tons of relief materials to the Palestinian enclave.

Speaking after a Cabinet meeting in the capital Ankara, Recep Tayyip Erdogan emphasized that Türkiye had been allowing no exports to Israel that could be used for military purposes long before the current military offensive on Gaza began in October last year.

Türkiye is the country that pioneered the export restriction against Israel after Tel Aviv launched its attacks on the Gaza Strip last October, he added.

The Turkish president added that apart from a few countries, nobody reacted to the Israeli administration’s “brutality,” which trampled on international practices.

Erdogan highlighted Türkiye’s role as a stable actor amidst global turmoil, attributing this to its balanced foreign policy and achievements in the defense industry.

First of all, Turkey is not a stable actor, they buy missiles and defense weapons from Russia, side stepping the United States and its allies. Another words, Turkey has spit in the face of NATO. Turkey is a trouble maker, anti Christian and anti Jew.

Then he goes on saying few countries, nobody reacted to the Israeli administration’s “brutality. What a joke, no mention of Hamas killing, raping and murdering 1200 Jews. Remember, that the virulent septic tank minds of the Islamist will never stop their attack on Jews, it is imbedded into their Jurassic heads at an early age.
