This came in a video message he sent to a ceremony held in Bosnia and Herzegovina on Friday to mark the 30th anniversary of the genocide committed by Serb forces in the town of Srebrenica.
Erdogan stressed that the international community has remained silent regarding the Srebrenica massacre, and in recent years has been content to watch the atrocities committed in Palestine.
He said, "The Israeli administration will be held accountable, sooner or later, before the law and history for the genocide committed against approximately 57,000 Palestinians, including children, women, the elderly, and young people."
The Turkish President also stressed that Ankara rejects all statements and declarations that deny the genocide committed in Srebrenica and glorify war criminals.
"No one should doubt our continued unconditional support for the territorial integrity, sovereignty, and constitutional order of Bosnia and Herzegovina," he added.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with American support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, including killing, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, ignoring all international appeals and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt the operation.
The genocide left more than 195,000 Palestinians dead or wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing, in addition to hundreds of thousands displaced.
It is worth noting that Serbian forces led by Ratko Mladic entered Srebrenica on July 11, 1995, after the United Nations declared it a safe zone. They committed a mass massacre that claimed the lives of more than 8,000 Bosnians, including children and the elderly, after Dutch forces operating there handed over tens of thousands of Bosnians to Serbian forces.
In its 2007 decision, the International Court of Justice in The Hague described what happened in Srebrenica and its environs as "genocide," consistent with evidence from the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.
