Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan held a joint press conference with Lebanese Minister of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants Abdallah Bou Habib in Beirut.
In his statement there, Minister Fidan said, "(Israel-Palestine) This war could lead to even greater wars, or it could lead to a historic peace. Our President believes that a historic peace is possible. We are doing our utmost to prevent the war from developing in a way that would destabilize regional countries, primarily Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan."
Minister Fidan continued as follows:
"You occupy someone's land. You seize their home, you throw them out, you bring someone else and put them there, and you call them a 'settler.' The name for this is theft. We have seen that for many years, hegemonic powers have used their media influence to make people forget the true nature of the problem; it is now time to put an end to this. Turkey is a strong and experienced state with a history and a past. Please heed the warnings we have made. It is time for the international community to take serious steps regarding a Palestinian state based on 1967 borders, with Jerusalem as its capital."
