Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said that the West's silence regarding the attack on Gaza means agreeing to violate the law.

Fidan told reporters at a press conference in Ankara that the West's silence about the Israeli attack on Gaza is equivalent to giving a green light to violations of the law in other parts of the world.

Fidan added, "In order to break the resistance, mosques, hospitals and schools are being bombed, and we cannot remain silent about these attacks."

The Turkish Foreign Ministry on Wednesday criticized the Israeli authorities, saying that their accusations against Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan are baseless, and they have no right to talk about the law while they continue to attack people in Gaza.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had criticized Erdogan against the background of the latter's statements to Israel, describing it as a "terrorist state," saying that Erdogan supports the "Hamas terrorist state."
