Stratcom Summit condemns Israel’s war crimes in declaration of intent

‘The occupation and massacre in Gaza carried out by Israel, which commits war crimes, hurts the global conscience,’ says Turkish Communications Director Fahrettin Altun

The Strategic Communications (Stratcom) Summit, organized by the Turkish Directorate of Communications, issued a declaration of intent on the conclusion day on Saturday, condemning the Israeli army’s massacre in Gaza and describing it as war crimes.

“The occupation and massacre in Gaza carried out by Israel, which commits war crimes, hurts the global conscience, and openly violates international law,” Communications Director Fahrettin Altun said in a closing speech at the end of the two-day Stratcom Summit in Istanbul.

The declaration also commemorated the journalists who were killed by the Israeli army.

In its declaration of intent, the summit also condemned “all Israeli activities targeting media, thereby preventing access to health information, and polluting the truth with false news,” Altun said.
