U.N. Security Council

Türkiye's top security council has urged the international community to immediately stop "Israeli atrocities" in order to bring peace to the region.

At least 90 Palestinians were killed and 300 others injured in an Israeli attack targeting displaced persons' camps in the southern Gaza Strip on Saturday, according to the enclave's Health Ministry.

Türkiye on Friday sharply criticized Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz, accusing him of making statements full of "disrespect, lies and slander" about Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

The Turkish Foreign Ministry condemned the Israeli government for its policies "trying to prolong its time in power," saying Israel is perpetuating violence and instability in the region.

Türkiye's Foreign Ministry on Tuesday condemned an Israeli attack on a school housing displaced people in the southern Gaza Strip.

The mass graves discovered in largely destroyed Khan Younis, and the targeting of four schools in as many days are "concrete evidence" that Israel seeks to destroy the Palestinian people, it said in a statement.

The U.N. Security Council will hold an emergency meeting on Ukraine on Tuesday after a deadly Russian strike on a Kiev children's hospital, a spokesman for the world body said.

The session scheduled for 10:00 am (1400 GMT) follows a request from Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, U.N. spokesman Farhan Aziz Haq told AFP.

Thousands of Israelis protested Saturday in several cities, demanding a hostage swap deal with Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip and early parliamentary elections, according to Israeli media.

Thousands in Kaplan Square in central Tel Aviv demanded a hostage deal and that the government should not miss the opportunity again, said the state-run broadcasting authority.

Vladimir Putin said Thursday he does not rule out Russia sending arms to isolated North Korea in what Washington called an "incredibly concerning" statement that threatens instability on the divided Korean peninsula.

On a trip to Vietnam following a state visit to Pyongyang where Russia and North Korea signed a mutual defence pact, Putin also warned South Korea not to arm Ukraine.

Israeli helicopters struck Rafah on Thursday, residents said, with militants reporting street battles in the southern Gazan city as U.S. President Joe Biden called Hamas the "biggest hang-up" to another truce.

There has been a significant decrease in the reexport of sensitive goods from Türkiye to Russia in the past months, a European Commission spokesperson has said, underlining that Brussels' goal is to deprive Russia of accessing technology necessary to continue its occupation of Ukraine.

A U.S.-backed proposal for a ceasefire and hostage deal between Israel and Hamas appears to be in limbo, with neither side yet publicly committing to the current plan for a Gaza deal amid demands for changes.
