A protest against the visit of the German President to Gaziantep, Turkey

Istanbul, Dozens of Turks participated on Tuesday in a protest against the visit of German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier to a school in the southern state of Gaziantep, because of "German support for Israel." Participants in the protest held banners in English and German denouncing cooperation between Germany and Israel and the Turkish people's refusal to receive those who participated in the slaughter of Palestinian children in Gaza. Police teams took security measures around the German President's convoy as it passed in front of the demonstrators. The protest participants saluted the position of Nicaragua, which filed a lawsuit with the International Court of Justice last March, accusing Germany of 'facilitating the commission of genocide' against the Palestinians during the Israeli war that has been ongoing in the Gaza Strip for more than months. Nicaragua said in the lawsuit request that 'Germany facilitates the commission of genocide by sending military equipment to Israel and stopping funding fo r the United Nations Relief Agency for Palestinian Refugees.' Yesterday, the German President arrived in Istanbul on a three-day visit to Turkey and faced similar protests in the city of Istanbul, where protesters described him as the new Hitler, demanding that he return to where he came from as he was an accomplice in the slaughter of Gaza's children through his blatant cooperation with Israel in its aggression against Gaza.
