President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan addressed the World from the podium at the 79th United Nations General Assembly in New York, Paralel.Az reports citing A news.

Here are the highlights from President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's speech:

"I hope that this historic step will be the final turning point for Palestine on its path to UN membership. I call on all states that have not yet recognized Palestine to do so without delay.

Even if it makes some uncomfortable, even if some target me personally, I wish to speak certain truths on behalf of humanity from this common platform of humanity.

172 journalists have been killed. More than 500 healthcare workers, who were working to save lives, have been killed. Humanitarian aid workers, who were rushing to the aid of the people of Gaza, have been killed. They bombed 820 mosques and 3 churches, which should not be touched even in times of war.

They targeted over 130 ambulances transporting patients.

And yet, without any shame, they challenged the entire world from this very podium. The images leaked from Israeli prisons clearly show the level of oppression we are facing. As a result of Israel's attacks, Gaza has become a graveyard for children and women. More than 17,000 children have been targeted by Israel's bombs.

41,000 lives have been brutally taken away.

The whereabouts of over 10,000 Gazans, mostly children, remain unknown.

Humanitarian aid workers and more than 210 UN staff members have been killed. They have bombed mosques and churches. They have targeted over 130 ambulances. And yet, they shamelessly challenged the whole world from this very podium.

The images from Israeli prisons show the extent of the oppression we are facing. Israel continues to violate international law in Gaza.
Despite the advances in technology and the state of our world, we, the 8-billion-strong human family, were unable to save a 6-year-old girl. Hundreds of Gazan children are being killed because they can't find even a piece of dry bread or a bowl of soup. The values that the West claims to defend are dying.

I openly ask from here: Human rights organizations, aren't those in Gaza and the West Bank human beings? International media outlets, aren't the journalists killed by Israel your colleagues? What are you waiting for to stop this network of massacres that is endangering not only the Palestinian people but also the lives of your own citizens?"
