Türkiye’s foreign minister blasted the US on Thursday for blocking UN resolutions for a cease-fire in Gaza, which has seen an intense Israeli air and ground offensive since the flare-up of conflict on Oct. 7.
"Only the US stands between massacre and cease-fire in Gaza," said Hakan Fidan.
"It should no longer block any UN cease-fire resolutions," he added, referring to the widely criticized US vetoes of two UN Security Council cease-fire resolutions in October and earlier this month.
The top diplomat also criticized other Western countries for "being complicit" in Israel's attacks.
"The way Western countries, which brag about their morals, are complicit in the Gaza massacre points towards the collapse of the current global system," he said.
While Palestinian oppression is a tragedy in and of itself, Fidan said the greater tragedy is that "humanity has lost its own conscience," adding that the tide is turning and "humanity is coming back to its senses" on Gaza.
The foreign minister said the international community will correct this mistake as soon as possible and that they will continue their work on this issue without interruption.
"We have seen many countries, which were previously abstaining or (voting) against (cease-fire resolutions), have now decided to stand by Palestine," he said.
