Israel increasingly becoming more alienated, isolated: Turkish foreign minister


Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Tuesday said Israel, which has continued its military offensive in the Gaza Strip for more than seven months, is getting “more alienated and isolated” due to its policies.

“Israel is getting increasingly alienated and isolated by the international community,” Fidan told a press conference alongside his Austrian counterpart Alexander Schallenberg in Ankara.

“Just as it was wrong to kill innocent Jews in concentration camps, it's equally wrong to kill innocent Palestinian children in their beds with bombs,” Fidan said, referring to the killing of more than 35,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children in Gaza since an Oct. 7 Hamas attack that claimed 1,200 lives.

The top diplomat said Israel's killing of “thousands of innocent Palestinians, displacement of millions of people is an act of genocide.”

“International law and human rights are being trampled by Israel, and diplomatic efforts have failed once again due to the Rafah invasion,” he said.
