ANKARA (AA) – Turkey on Saturday “strongly ” condemned Israel's “heinous attack ” on peaceful Palestinian protestors in Gaza which killed seven people.
“Israel needs to understand that it cannot deprive the Palestinian people of their historical and legitimate rights while blatantly pursuing a policy of violence, ” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
It added that the international community has a “humanitarian duty ” to protect the Palestinian people without delay.
“We once again reiterate our call to international community to fulfill this conscientious responsibility, ” it added.
At least seven Palestinian protesters were martyred on Friday by Israeli army gunfire near the Gaza-Israel buffer zone, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
According to the ministry, more than 200 Palestinians have been killed — and thousands more injured — since rallies on the Right of Return began on March 30.
