I don't agree with him. He agrees with me.

He could be anyone of us.
There are lots of people that should have permanent accommodations in The Hague. They are usually very good at identifying other criminals too.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
ANKARA, Nov 28 (Reuters) - Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday told United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres that Israel must be held accountable in international courts for what he called war crimes it committed in Gaza, the Turkish presidency said.
In a phone call ahead of a U.N. Security Council meeting on Gaza planned for Wednesday, Erdogan and Guterres discussed the "expectations of the international community regarding Israel's unlawful attacks", access of humanitarian aid into the enclave, and efforts for a lasting peace, the Turkish presidency said.
In a statement, it added that Fidan would hold also meet his counterparts as part of a so-called contact group of some Muslim countries, formed by the Arab League and Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) this month to discuss Gaza with Western powers and others.
Turkey has harshly criticised Israel's attacks on Gaza and called for an immediate ceasefire to allow for discussions over a two-state solution to the wider Israel-Palestinian conflict.
Erdogan has called the Israeli attacks on Gaza a genocide and accused Israel of being a "teror state".
Turkey also hosts some members of Hamas, which it does not consider a terrorist group, unlike the United States, European Union, and some Gulf countries.
The original article contains 361 words, the summary contains 203 words. Saved 44%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
100%, more world leader should be tried for war crimes. The surviving members of the last 5 US administrations for sure. Erdogan himself, of course, Merkel and Macron. Probably a few thousand others.
