Kurtulmuş's call comes amid the ongoing genocidal war waged by Israel, with US support, against Gaza since October 7, 2023. This war includes killing, starvation, destruction, and displacement, in defiance of international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt it.
The genocide left 62,895 Palestinians dead, 158,927 wounded, most of them children and women, more than 9,000 missing, hundreds of thousands displaced, and a famine that killed 313 Palestinians, including 119 children.
