Antisemitism in the Middle East

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday Israel was a "terror state" committing war crimes and violating international law in Gaza, while repeating his view that Palestinian militant group Hamas was not a terrorist organization.

Israeli forces stormed Gaza's largest hospital Wednesday, targeting what they believe is a Hamas command centre housed among thousands of ailing and sheltering civilians.

Israeli and Palestinian officials said military operations were taking place at Gaza City's Al-Shifa hospital — the focal point of days of deadly fighting and nearby aerial bombardments.

Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has engaged in discussions with his Egyptian counterpart, Sameh Shoukry, and Zhai Jun, China's special envoy to the Middle East, to address the recent developments in Gaza.

The Palestinian militant group Hamas has informed Qatari mediators that it is ready to release up to 70 women and children held captive in the Gaza Strip in exchange for a five-day ceasefire.
At least 179 bodies were buried today in a "common grave" within the Al Shifa hospital complex in Gaza, its director said.

"Hamas has lost control of Gaza - terrorists fleeing south, civilians looting Hamas bases", Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said on Monday night - five weeks after the terror attack.

With tanks massed at the gates of Gaza's largest hospital, US President Joe Biden pressed Israeli allies to protect civilians, who on Tuesday were trapped inside with dwindling supplies of fuel and water.

IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari is holding a press conference about an incident in which weapons were found at Rantisi hospital in Gaza.
He adds that they found the command center of the Palestinian militant group Hamas under the hospital.

Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis said Greece supports the idea of a humanitarian pause in the Middle East to allow for the creation of humanitarian corridors for aid to flow in and injured Palestinians to leave Gaza.

Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has engaged in a telephone conversation with Qatari Premier and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani to address the escalating situation in Gaza.
