Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan attacked Israel's "genocidal mindset" in a speech to the UN General Assembly, Al Jazeera English reported. Erdogan said the organization has been forced into "dysfunction" and was "bleeding out" over crises in Palestine, Lebanon, and Sudan.
The Turkish leader's remarks marked a sharp rebuke of Israel's military operations and of the United Nations' inability to resolve regional conflicts. Erdogan's criticism reflects Turkey's increasingly vocal stance against Israeli policies in the occupied territories.
