Turkey's Erdogan criticises Germany over ignorance of Israel's genocide

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan criticised Germany over what he said was its ignorance of Israel's genocide, famine and attacks in Gaza, at a joint news conference with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in Ankara on Thursday.

Erdogan said Israel had nuclear and other weapons which it was using and threatening against Gaza, adding that Hamas had none of those. He said Israel had once again attacked Gaza in recent days despite a ceasefire in the enclave.

"Does Germany not see these?" he said, adding that it was Turkey, Germany and other countries' humanitarian duty to end the famine and massacres in Gaza.
