"Turkiye's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has criticised Germany over what he called its ignorance of Israel's genocide and attacks on Gaza. At a joint news conference with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in Ankara on Thursday, Erdogan noted Israel's access to nuclear and other weapons, saying it was using them to threaten Gaza, and adding that Hamas was not as well equipped."
"We need to end the genocide and the deliberate starvation by involving Germany's Red Cross and our own Turkish Red Crescent, Erdogan said. Does Germany not see these? he said, adding it was Turkiye, Germany and other countries' humanitarian duty to end the famine and massacres in Gaza."
"Reporting from Gaza City on Wednesday, Al Jazeera's Hani Mahmoud said the Israeli attacks this week were similar to previous rounds of bombardments. A brief hope for calm turned into despair, said Mahmoud. For a lot of people, it's a stark reminder of the opening weeks of the genocide in terms of the intensity and the scale of destruction that was caused by the massive bombs on Gaza City."
Despite a fragile US-brokered ceasefire that began on October 10, Israel launched renewed bombardments on Gaza after the killing of an Israeli soldier in Rafah, killing 104 people, mostly women and children, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. Turkiye's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan criticised Germany for ignoring what he called Israel's genocide and attacks, warned about Israel's access to nuclear and other weapons, and urged involvement of Germany's Red Cross and the Turkish Red Crescent to end famine and massacres. Al Jazeera reporting described the attacks as similar to earlier intense bombardments. The United States and Qatar offered differing assessments of the ceasefire's status.
