Istanbul (Quds News Network)- Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan announced that Turkey has cut all economic and trade ties with Israel, banned Turkish ships from docking at Israeli ports, and closed its airspace to Israeli aircraft, accusing Israel of committing “genocide” in Gaza. “Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza for past 2 years, ignoring basic humanitarian values right before world's eyes,” the minister said in a press confernece on Friday. “We oppose any plan envisioning displacement of Palestinians from Gaza, regardless of who proposes it, such plan is invalid for us.” “Allowing Israel to continue reckless attacks in Gaza, across Palestine, will not only affect Palestinians, it'll also set entire region ablaze.” He added, “Palestinians' resistance against Israel will alter course of history, become symbol for oppressed, shake foundations of a decaying order.” “Atrocities committed in Gaza have been recorded as one of darkest chapters in human history.”
