Turkey’s Foreign Ministry condemned a series of Israeli strikes that killed a top Hamas military commander and many civilians in the Gaza Strip, and called on Israel to end its attacks.

The Gaza offensive that Israel launched on Wednesday is the latest example of this country’s aggressive politics, a statement from the Foreign Ministry said.

"We strongly condemn this Israeli attack and immediately demand that it be stopped," the statement said, adding that no country, Israel included, is above international law.

The statement said that it is of vital importance that the international community strongly reacts to the Israeli strike on Gaza City.

Turkey called on the international community and the United Nations to take the necessary steps to stop Israel's continued attacks on Gaza.

The Turkish Foreign Ministry said Turkey will “continue to stand in solidarity with the victimized people of Gaza.”

None of our business, in this respect, they being fighting for the last two thousand years. We are not in a position to demand halt. Lately, we being spreading very thin all over the places. With AKP's failed leadership, no one is taking us seriously at this time anyways. Praying for a new leadershi...
Be it.
before condemning Israel, ask your self, if you would be ready to sit quite under weekly rocket attacks from PKK on your cities?

Just wait and see what's coming. Isreal will pay for every crime it has committed and is committing. Don't cry then - JUST WAIT AND SEE !!

Turkey's position on Gaza is a joke. Isreal has the absolute right to self defense. Hamas and Islam is the cause of the ongoing conflicts. It is time for Islam to drop its medieval view of the world.

LOL... If Turkey supports by actions AND NOT WORDS the palestinian people (just like it does to the syrian free terrorist army), then i shall cut my...... ! Most of the commenters below are living in another world if they think Turkey
Ironic
Turkey is not in the position to call on Israel to end its attacks. In doing so, Turkey is making a fool of itself. To be able to make such calls one needs to have a clean slate, which Turkey obviously doens't have, with its stance on Kurds. Sweep one's own hallway first!

Muslim terrorists make me sick. Erdogan and his clan support Hamas, that makes them terrorists, and no wonder they have killed so many innocent Kurds. I would like to see response of the Turkish dog if his country had been hit with 140 rockets in 5 days. He would have gone MAD.

israel have the same right to defense herself from terorist as turkey and other country . hamas send handred of rocket to israely city and they atack one israely army tour in our border side .some days ago . if somebody want to kill you , you sould protect yourself . israel can destroy gaza in one d...

Where are our brave, honourable, gallant, bold, legendary Turkish, Saudi Arabian, and Qatari Momin Mujahid Brothers now? If you were so quick and concerned about providing all sorts of moral, political, material, military, cash, diplomatic and armed support to our Brothers in Free Syria Army and oth...

Isreal a true terrorist state. Murderous and savage.

Hamas is an internationally recognized terror organization. Never give in to terrorism!
matt
Turkey killed more Kurdish people (who didn't commit any violence) in just one air attack than Israel killed Palestinian terrorists over the last year ...

it is time to face the facts! Pro free Palestine.

Who created Hamas? What is the purpose of Hamas? What goes around, comes around.
zynell
...where am I. What did I done to you?

@cloe: ...and Hamas did respond to Israeli actions. Who killed 2004 Ahmed al-Jabaris brother, son and several cousins. Israel did learn a lot from history like `Sippenhaft`. You guys justify killings.
zynell
Israel is build on terrorism against ruling United Kingdom. So the Palistinians have the right to copy/paste this type of state building.

i ask turkey to stop any brutal action against the Kurdish people, against the Armenian people, against the Cypriot people and against the Syrian, alawites, Iraqi,... people.
musa
turkey lost all it's legitimacy to ask Israel for ending this just operation. turkey should have ask Gaza and Egypt to stop arms smuggling and rocket firing, not from Israel to stop self defense actions. Turkish hypocrites.
musa
How stupid must Hamas be? Firing 700 rockets and thinking they won't get a response?? Karaylan must be very happy he is fighting against Turkey and not against Israel!
erol
Thank you, Turkey!!!
Yaroslav
And Israel demands an immediate halt of all Turkish attacks on Kurds and Kurdish areas. We strongly condemn the Turkish attacks and immediately demand that it be stopped. Israel will continue to stand in solidarity with the victimized people of Kurdistan.
Arieh Yidel
I stand with Israel.

"Turkey’s Foreign Ministry condemned a series of Israeli strikes that killed a top Hamas military commander and many civilians in the Gaza Strip, and called on Israel to end its attacks". May I ask " How many Kurds were killed by Turkey in the last month and how many missiles were fired on Turkish c...

How come Turkey doesn't condem Hamas for firing 150 rockets at Israeli civilian settlements in the two days prior to the Israeli strikes ? People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones !
John McAuliffe
Does Turkey's Foreign Ministry and Gov't think that firing rockets into Israel at civilians is okay ? Sure sounds like it. Can you imagine that if turkey had broken the blockade, how many weapons would be in Gaza to use against the jews ?
bill
Turkey is hypocritically condemning Israel because it is ruled by Islamists, as simple as that. AKP Turkey feels close connection with the terrorists of Hamas and they display this every day. This does not represent the view of all Turks, but it does represent the views of the Islamists that sadly c...
Yavuz
It is a new hypocrisy of the Turkish leadership. When 3 shells fell in Turkish territory from Siria, then the Turkish army bombarded Syria. In the last two weeks the Hamas shooted on Israeli cities 50-80 rockets and mortar shells daily. Don't you think guys that the duty of Israel to defend it's cit...
kzeev
Get it through your thick skulls, the attack was in response to rockets fired at Israel by HAMAS. Anything Chinese in that that you don't seem to understand? Come to think of it, you support HAMAS terrorists, so of course you will blame Israel for even your farts. You're a country that knows all abo...
Cleo
But you hypocrites did not ask for rocket attacks against Israel to be halted, did you? How about you get hundreds of rocket attacks weekly, what will you say then, huh?
Essex
Why Turkey is condemning strike on Gaza? Israel is having the right to defend itself. And to strike at any target needed. Whether in Gaza or in Iran or even in Pakistan. Just like Israel destroyed Iraqi nuclear reactor and Sudanese arms factory.
