Turkey's Erdogan says UN system and western values 'dying' in Gaza

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan gave his UN General Assembly address, in which he lambasted the global community for the ongoing Israeli war on Gaza.

"Along with children in Gaza, the United Nations system is also dying, the truth is dying, the values that the West claims to defend are dying, the hopes of humanity to live in a fairer world are dying one by one," Erdogan said.

"Those who are supposedly working for a ceasefire continue to send weapons and ammunition to Israel behind the stage, so that it can continue its massacres. This is inconsistency and insincerity," Erdogan said in an apparent reference to the US, Turkey's Nato ally.
