“Once again, before the Israeli elections, Gaza has been targeted. Many innocent civilians and children have been killed, this crime cannot be justified. To claim that Israel’s illegal attack was aimed at self-defense will only encourage Israel to commit more massacres,” Erdogan said.

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and a group of Arab League foreign ministers visited the Gaza Strip on November 20 to express solidarity with the Palestinian people.

Israeli aircraft continued to bomb the Gaza Strip on November 20, killing 33 Palestinians. This was the bloodiest day of fighting since the Tel Aviv offensive began on November 14. In Palestine, a total of 116 people have been killed and more than 800 injured in the past week./.
