Minister Tunc decried the international community’s silence on violations of women’s and children’s rights in Palestine, underscoring Türkiye’s ongoing diplomatic efforts to halt the bloodshed.
Tunc reiterated Türkiye's position that the crisis can only be resolved by ending the occupation, establishing a free Palestine, and restoring borders to those of 1967 with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Tunc emphasized that Türkiye is also submitting reports to the U.N. Security Council and seeking to participate in the genocide case against Israel.
Eygi, a human rights activist who graduated from a U.S. university in June, was killed by an Israeli sniper during a peaceful protest in Beita, Nablus, on September 6. Eyewitnesses confirmed that she was shot while observing the protest from a distance.
Since October 7, 2023, over 41,000 Palestinians have been killed, with 80% of the victims being women and children.
