President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has reiterated Turkey’s unwavering commitment to peace in the Palestinian enclave of Gaza. He said, “We will continue our efforts until we see results (of peace in Gaza),” Erdogan said at a cabinet meeting, Hurriyet Daily reported.

After his speech at the cabinet meeting, Erdogan thanked the Turkish people for their continued solidarity with the Palestinians, saying that nearly half a million people demonstrated in Istanbul last week to show that Gaza is not alone.

He added, “Our citizens sent a strong message to the world by demonstrating Turkey’s unwavering support for Palestine on January 1.”

The Turkish president said, “After 61 years of Baathist oppression and 13 years of genocide, just as faith, hope and patience prevail in Syria, justice will prevail in Palestine, God willing.” The sun of justice will break through the darkness of oppression.’

He stressed Turkey’s long-term goal for Palestine, saying that an independent, sovereign Palestinian state with territorial integrity based on the 1967 borders and East Jerusalem as its capital must be established. ’

At that time, Erdogan called on the international community to support the Palestinians and expressed hope that the new year would bring peace and relief to the suffering people of Gaza.

It is worth noting that the Israeli army has been attacking the besieged Gaza Strip of Palestine since October 7, 2023. More than 45,000 people have been killed in Gaza in the Israeli attack that has lasted for more than a year. And more than 109,000 people have been injured. Meanwhile, Turkey has continued its unwavering support for the Palestinians since the beginning of the Gaza war.
