At the United Nations General Assembly, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Israel of harboring a “genocidal mindset.” His remarks came amid heightened tensions over the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Erdogan also called for the establishment of a Palestinian state and emphasized the need for Gaza reconstruction, aligning with former U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposed plan. He claimed Israel was obstructing efforts to implement the initiative.

The speech followed recent escalations in the region, with both sides exchanging accusations of aggression. While Israel has not directly responded to Erdogan’s claims, the remarks reflect growing international scrutiny of its policies.

The UN session provided a platform for global leaders to voice concerns, with Turkey using the opportunity to reiterate its support for Palestinian sovereignty.
