Hakan Fidan calls for working for lasting peace, establishment of independent Palestinian state following signing of cease-fire agreement
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan welcomed a cease-fire agreement Wednesday between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas.
“The agreement reached to establish a cease-fire in Gaza is a valuable step in the name of justice and humanity,” Fidan said on X, hailing the efforts of Qatar and Egypt, which made the agreement possible.
Fidan called for the full implementation of the agreement and the uninterrupted delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, urging the international community to fulfil “this legal and moral responsibility.”
“In the following process, we must work towards lasting peace and ensure the establishment of an independent Palestinian state,” he added.
Expressing Ankara's determination to continue supporting “the just struggle of our Palestinian brothers and sisters from the very first day,” he also expressed Türkiye's readiness to take on every responsibility that is the country's.
“We will continue to work with all our strength to build a future where oppression ends, justice prevails, and the flame of Palestine's independence burns freely,” he added.
