Trkiye: Trkiye condemned on Friday Israel's decision to fully occupy the Gaza Strip, according to the Anadolu Agency. The Turkish Foreign Ministry described Israel's decision as a new phase in Israel's "expansionist and genocidal policy" in the region.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, the Turkish Foreign Ministry stated that every action taken by the Netanyahu government to continue the genocide against the Palestinians and to expand the occupation negatively impacts international peace and security. The ministry highlighted that such decisions increase regional instability and worsen the humanitarian crisis.
The ministry emphasized that lasting peace in the region can only be achieved through respect for international law, prioritizing diplomacy, and safeguarding fundamental human rights. It urged Israel to immediately halt its "war plans," accept a ceasefire in Gaza, and resume negotiations toward a two-state solution.
The statement further described Israel's actions as an attempt to make Gaza uninhabitable and forcibly displace Palestinians from their land. The ministry called on the international community to meet its responsibilities and urged the UN Security Council to adopt binding resolutions to prevent Israel's actions that violate international law and humanitarian values.
