Turkey, among the world’s sharpest critics of the Israeli military operation in Gaza, will use the UN General Assembly this week to highlight what it says is a genocide unfolding there and will urge international pressure on Israel, reports. President Tayyip Erdogan and several Turkish ministers will take part in the General Assembly in New York, which comes amid the heaviest cross-border fire between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, alongside the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza. Erdogan addresses the assembly on Tuesday and plans to underscore what he described as the “ongoing genocide in Gaza” and repeat his call to reform the UN structure to be more inclusive, a Turkish diplomatic source said. The Turkish delegation, including Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, will press the Gaza issue in all of its meetings and bilateral contacts throughout the week, the source added.
