Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has accused Germany of deliberately turning a blind eye to Israel’s “genocidal acts” and “starvation policies” in Gaza. Speaking at a joint press conference in Ankara with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Thursday, Erdoğan sharply criticized Germany’s silence on what he described as Israel’s ongoing crimes against Palestinians, even during the ceasefire period. Erdoğan claimed that Israel possesses nuclear and advanced weapons that it has used to threaten and attack Gaza, while Hamas lacks such arms. He questioned, “Is Germany not seeing this?” stressing that ending the mass killings and famine in Gaza is a moral duty for all nations, including Germany and Turkey. The Turkish leader urged Germany and Turkey—two influential global powers—to work together toward achieving peace in Gaza. Erdoğan also called on humanitarian organizations such as the German Red Cross and Turkish Red Crescent to take immediate action to prevent further massacres and starvation. According to reports, Israel’s renewed attacks since Tuesday evening have killed over a hundred Palestinians, including 46 children, in violation of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement signed earlier this month.
