Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan delivers his speech at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum (French)

The Antalya Diplomacy Forum, which was held in Turkey, hosted many statesmen, diplomats and important figures from all over the world.

4,700 people from 148 countries participated in the forum, and the main topic was: “Showing diplomacy in times of crisis.”

When we talk about crises, the Gaza crisis immediately comes to mind, which is the largest humanitarian, political and geographical crisis the world has witnessed in the past fifty years.

In this context, everyone, including heads of state, condemned the genocide, massacres, and brutal occupation carried out by Israel.

Israel has already crossed the border

In the days in which this meeting was held, the border area of ​​Rafah - where almost all residents of the Gaza Strip had sought refuge as safe - was constantly being bombed by Israel.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced the number of victims at 30,410 people.

On the other hand, the European-based Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Observatory announced that Israeli tanks deliberately killed dozens of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

At the same time, planes belonging to the United States of America and Egypt were dropping humanitarian aid into Gaza from the air, as if they were using the air route instead of the Rafah crossing, which was destroyed by the bombing and could not be opened without shame (!)

They bombarded people trying to receive this aid with Israeli artillery shells, and 112 people died at the scene.

On the other hand, Israel did not respond to the international reactions denouncing this attack.

Because Israel's foolish officials have crossed the limits.

They have moved to a level where there are no human, legal or moral values.

For this reason, diplomacy, rhetoric and conscience have come to an end in Gaza.

Voices of conscience collide with Israeli tanks

Diplomacy, communication, and appeals to conscience can only happen in a moral world.

Of course, in an environment where the rules of international law and international relations operate, there is great benefit to these matters, but this is no longer a valid rule for Israel now.

Israel does not care that all the streets from London to Malaysia, from Bosnia to South Africa, are full of conscientious people who curse Israel.

The voices of conscience that appeal to the hearts, whether they are from international artists, Hollywood stars, scholars, clerics, or the Pope, collide with Israel's tanks and fall to the ground.

No one can tell;

All the calls, reactions and denunciations, made at the level of heads of state in Europe, Asia, Latin America and Africa, influenced the officials in Israel who ordered the killing of the children.

We have not seen any impact of the calls and denunciations of the European Union, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the League of Arab States, and the African Union on Israeli missiles, planes, and tanks.

So why does the world continue to cling to these statements so doggedly?

What do you think the Palestinian mother whose child was killed in the bread line thinks when she hears these calls?

Israel must pay the price

Everyone knows, now, that Israel, which crushes all human values ​​with its tanks and strikes with its missiles, is not affected by these calls.

Now, the matter requires steps that will make Israel pay the price. Israel must be isolated from the world, all commercial relations with it must be cut off, and a ban imposed in all fields, including closing the airspace to its planes and seaports to its ships.

Peace forces must be sent to stop the murderous Israeli army, the Palestinian people must be protected under the auspices of the United Nations and Islamic countries, the Rafah crossing must be opened, and the siege on Gaza must be lifted.

At the very least, any of these measures will make Israel pay the price.
