Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan stressed on Tuesday the necessity of supporting the decisive steps taken by Iraq to rebuild while declaring support for the Lebanese people who are being subjected to Zionist aggression.

"The decisive steps taken by Iraq to rebuild must be supported. We also stand with the Lebanese people and the state of Lebanon that is being subjected to aggression and we will stand with those who have the right to the end," said Erdoğan in his speech during the official opening of the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly - followed by the Iraqi News Agency - INA. 

He added, "The Zionist entity must be punished for its crimes and must pay the price for the damage it has caused. Countries are calling for a ceasefire and a truce, but they are secretly supplying the entity with weapons, and this is hypocrisy."

"We must stop Netanyahu and his criminal gang with a humanitarian alliance, just as Hitler was stopped decades ago. The Zionist government is practicing racial cleansing against the Palestinians, killing them and confiscating their lands," he stressed.
