Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan delivered a forceful speech at the United Nations General Assembly, condemning Israel's actions in Gaza and calling for international intervention. Erdogan accused the Israeli administration of ignoring basic human rights and claimed that the values of the Western world are being destroyed in Gaza. He likened Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Adolf Hitler, stating that Netanyahu and his 'murder network' must be stopped by an alliance of humanity, similar to the alliance that stopped Hitler 70 years ago. Erdogan also criticized the United Nations and Israel's allies for their support of Israel and urged for coercive measures, including the possible use of force, to be considered against Israel. He mentioned that Israel's 'right to defense' has become a 'right to vengeance' and called out Netanyahu's deceptive moves.
