Türkiye on Nov. 13 slammed an Israeli airstrike on Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza's Khan Younis that left six people dead, including medical personnel, branding the attack a flagrant breach of international law.
In a written statement, the Turkish Foreign Ministry expressed strong condemnation of the strike, which it said killed numerous Palestinians, among them dedicated healthcare workers.
The ministry stressed that the assault directly violates international humanitarian law. It also accused Israel of showing a clear disregard for peace, pointing out that Israeli forces have killed more than 1,600 Palestinians despite the Gaza ceasefire and have repeatedly rebuffed international efforts to advance the Gaza Peace Plan.
Ankara concluded its statement by urging the global community to take decisive action to protect Palestinian civilians and restore lasting stability to the region.
Board of Peace urges 'immediate' implementation of Trump’s Gaza plan
The Board of Peace said that U.S. President Donald Trump's Gaza peace plan must be implemented "immediately without further delay" after a deadly Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital, while stopping short of criticizing Israel.
The board said the "tragic loss of life" underscored why the plan must move forward.
"Otherwise, we will continue to see tragedies in which (the Palestinian group) Hamas alleges deliberate Israeli attacks on hospitals, Israel maintains that Hamas exploits these facilities for terrorist operations, and innocent Gazans ultimately pay the price," it said in a statement on the U.S. social media platform X.
The board said it "deplores the death of any civilians" and denounced Hamas but refrained from condemning the Israeli attack.
It urged all parties to "honor their commitments" under the plan and said it has established a strategic framework to ensure that Gazans "can live safely and access essential medical care in secure, demilitarized facilities."
"All parties must cede the necessary authority and operational space to the Board of Peace to implement this framework without further obstruction or delay," it said.
UN 'deeply alarmed'
The U.N. also expressed deep alarm on Nov. 12 about the strike on hospital.
"The Special Coordinator ad interim is deeply alarmed by the Israeli airstrike on Nasser Hospital in Gaza last night, which killed six people, injured 27 others, and caused extensive damage to the facility," said deputy spokesman Farhan Haq.
U.N. Special Coordinator for Middle East Peace Process ad interim Ramiz Alakbarov said that the ongoing violence and recent increase in military operations exacerbate the immense human suffering in Gaza, and jeopardize the increasingly fragile ceasefire, Haq added.
"The special coordinator reiterates his call for rapid, safe, and unimpeded access for humanitarian assistance, including the entry of durable shelter materials and winterization items to ease the suffering of the population as the coldest months approach," he said.
