Turkey calls for international community to implement ICJ ruling

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) "has legally confirmed that Israel pursues a policy of occupation and persecution against the Palestinian people," the Turkish foreign ministry said in a statement. 

"The international community is obliged to take a firm and resolute stance to put an end to Israel's illegal practices," it added. 

Turkey has also provided written and oral contributions to the advisory opinion given by the ICJ on Friday. 

"We will continue our efforts to ensure that the crimes committed against the Palestinians, including the current genocidal acts against the people of Gaza, do not go unpunished," concluded the statement.
