President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke at a joint press conference with Palestinian President Abbas

 

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and President Mahmoud Abbas of Palestine held a joint press conference following their meeting at the Presidential Complex.

Stressing that Türkiye will continue to support the Palestinian cause strongly on every platform, President Erdoğan said: “We will endeavor with determination for the formation of an independent, sovereign and geographically integral Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders, with East al-Quds as its capital.”

“In Gaza, despite all the agreements and international efforts, we are faced with an Israeli administration that is committed to deadlock. Despite the constructive stance of our Palestinian brothers and sisters, the current Israeli administration continues its uncompromising and aggressive attitude,” President Erdoğan noted. “The ongoing process, as I have just mentioned, reveals who sides with the continuation of conflicts and who sides with peace.  The Gazan people have clearly demonstrated that they are in favor of peace and have a strong will to achieve this. The conditions necessary to launch Gaza’s reconstruction and ensure its security must be created without delay.”
