Turkey denounces Israel's ground invasion in Gaza as the latest stage of genocide

The Turkish Foreign Ministry has denounced Israel's ground operation in Gaza City, labelling it as a 'new phase in the Netanyahu government's genocide plans.' This comes in response to the Israeli army's initiation of a ground offensive in Gaza City.

The ministry's statement reiterates that the ongoing Israeli operation will likely escalate killings in Gaza. It warns that the offensive could force hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to displace again, deepening their suffering. The ministry's stance also implies that the Israeli ground operation may hinder the improvement of the humanitarian situation in Gaza.

The operation is also hindering uninterrupted humanitarian aid access in Gaza. Over a million Palestinians have sought refuge in Gaza City amid ongoing assaults, and the ministry's condemnation is a call for international action to enforce a ceasefire in Gaza.

The Israeli ground operation is seen as hindering efforts for a hostage-prisoner exchange. The Turkish Foreign Ministry's stance emphasizes Israel's unwillingness to agree to a ceasefire.

In a joint statement at the UN Security Council, 14 member states, excluding the USA, called for an immediate, unconditional, and lasting ceasefire and the lifting of all restrictions for humanitarian aid to Gaza. The Turkish Foreign Ministry is urging the international community, particularly the UN Security Council, to secure a ceasefire in Gaza.

The ministry's statement also condemns the Israeli ground operation as an obstacle to a ceasefire. It urges the international community to take immediate action to prevent further escalation and loss of life in Gaza.

The Turkish Foreign Ministry is continuing cooperation with countries that respect international law in their efforts to bring about peace and stability in the region. The ministry's stance suggests a call for international action to enforce a ceasefire in Gaza and alleviate the suffering of the Palestinians.
