Erdoğan Calls Gaza a 'Concentration Camp' at UN, Israeli Delegation Walks Out

Addressing the UN General Assembly's 81st session on September 22, President Erdoğan described Gaza as 'the most inhumane and shameful concentration camp of our time' and said Western values were 'dying' amid the war, prompting Israel's delegation to walk out of the chamber. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz called the speech 'antisemitic and incendiary'; Erdoğan followed on September 23 by urging world leaders to 'immediately' begin rebuilding Gaza.
