Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that “the genocide and starvation in Gaza must end.” During a joint press conference alongside German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Erdogan stated: “Hamas has no bombs or nuclear weapons, but Israel does, and they used them to attack Gaza yesterday. Does Berlin not see this? We must end the genocide and starvation in Gaza by involving the German Red Cross and Turkish Red Crescent in the operation – we want to end the war in Gaza.”
