Islamic world, Global South, conscientious Westerners stand for Gaza, 'massacre perpetrators blind, deaf': Turkish foreign minister

By Esra Tekin

ISTANBUL (AA) – Türkiye’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Friday that the Islamic world, Global South, and conscientious individuals in the West stand for Gaza, while “perpetrators of the massacre ignore this outcry.”

“The Islamic world stands, the Global South stands, and the conscientious individuals in the West stand, however, the perpetrators of the massacre remain blind and deaf to this outcry,” Fidan said during a speech at Antalya Diplomacy Forum.

“We can see that honorable individuals in the West are no longer indifferent to this atrocity in Gaza,” Fidan added.

He added that the self-immolation of a US soldier because he could not bear complicity in the Gaza massacre was a sign of the legitimacy crisis of the international system.
