Turkiye’s President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, on Monday, urged the leaders of the world’s majority-Muslim nations to meet at the leadership level “without further delay” to help defend Palestinians and Jerusalem against Israel’s attacks, nearly a year into a relentless Israeli offensive that has taken some 41,000 lives, Anadolu Agency reports.

“It’s urgent for the Organisation to convene at the leadership level without further delay and to demonstrate the decisive stance of the Islamic world,” he added.
On Israel’s killing last week of Ayşenur Eygi, a dual citizen of Turkiye and the US, during a protest against illegal Israeli settlements near Nablus in the Occupied West Bank, Erdogan said Ankara will take “every legal step” to ensure her blood “was not spilled in vain”, including by appealing to the International Court at The Hague, which has already been investigating charges that Israel has been committing genocide.
