Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has repeatedly condemned the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. In October 2026, Erdoğan described Gaza as the ‘largest concentration camp in the world’ and criticized the destruction of civilian infrastructure, including schools and hospitals. He reported that over 74,000 Gazans, primarily women and children, had been killed over a three year period, and alleged that attacks had violated a ceasefire mediated by Turkey. By November 2026, Erdoğan expanded his critique to the international system, stating that global governance mechanisms have failed to resolve modern conflicts. During the 10th TRT World ~~Forum,~~ Forum in Istanbul, he characterized the situation in Gaza as the ‘greatest genocide of modern times,’ citing updated casualty figures of 75,000 dead and 176,000 injured since October 2023. He further argued that the current global order has ‘raised the white flag of bankruptcy’ and is eroding. He also highlighted settler violence in the West Bank, noting over 3,000 recorded attacks and violations against Palestinians in October.
