Turkey says Rafah op another Israeli war crime, working to punish Israeli leadership

The Israeli operation in Gaza’s Rafah city marks another war crime by Israel, Turkish Vice President Cevdet Yilmaz says.

“By carrying out a ground attack on Rafah, just a day after Hamas approved Qatar and Egypt’s proposal for a ceasefire deal, Israel has added another to the war crimes it has committed in Palestinian territories since October 7,” Yilmaz says on social media platform X.

Ankara would continue working for the Israeli leadership to be legally punished, he added.

Israel says the deal that Hamas put forward was not the same one that Israel had agreed to.
