Erdogan called Israel's attacks on Rafah a consequence of the West's two-faced policy. As a result of Israeli army strikes on the city of Rafah in the south of the Gaza Strip, up to 100 people were killed.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk said that the international community should not allow the Israel Defense Forces to conduct a military operation in Rafah. The reason for this recklessness of Israel is the duplicitous policy of the Western powers, Erdogan said.
