The Turkish minister walked out of a speech by her Israeli counterpart at a UN meeting in protest against Israel’s attacks on Gaza. "We need to keep the ongoing massacre in Palestine at the top of the global agenda and redouble our efforts towards putting an end to this tragedy. We must unite in our shared sense of pain and ensure that our voices are heard stronger and louder," she said.
She highlighted that while the overall employment rate has increased by 12 percent over the past two decades, women's employment in Türkiye has risen by 25 percent and said Türkiye also aims to assist young women in accessing employment, internships, training and entrepreneurship support. "We will advocate for a safe and healthy protected lifestyle for women and children all over the world, especially in Palestine. We continue to join forces for a free Palestine until the occupation and genocide ends in Gaza," Goktas said on X.
Israel has also imposed a crippling blockade on Gaza, leaving its population, particularly residents of northern Gaza, on the verge of starvation.
