Ankara: Trkiye's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and French President Emmanuel Macron discussed the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza and prospects for peace in the region during a phone call.
According to TRTworld.com, Erdogan expressed concern over the deteriorating conditions in Gaza, urging swift international intervention. He highlighted the worsening humanitarian situation and stressed the need for the international community to take action toward an immediate solution.
The conversation took place as France prepares to recognize the State of Palestine, with the French Foreign Ministry recalling France's recognition of the State of Israel on January 24, 1949. This development comes amid Israel's continued offensive on Gaza since October 7, 2023, which has resulted in nearly 60,000 Palestinian deaths, most of them women and children, and has led to the collapse of Gaza's health system and severe food shortages.
