No: 211, 10 October 2024, Regarding Israel’s Attack on the Headquarters of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL)

We condemn Israel's attack targeting the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL).

Israel's attack on UN forces, following its massacres against civilians in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon is a manifestation of its perception that its crimes go unpunished. The international community is obligated to ensure that Israel abides by the international law.

Türkiye contributes to the UNIFIL Maritime Task Force with one corvette/frigate and five personnel at the UNIFIL headquarters.

We will continue to support all initiatives within the framework of international law to promote peace in the region.
