Emphasis on 'permanent ceasefire': Foreign Minister Fidan calls for an independent Palestinian State

Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan spoke at the "International Strategic Communication Summit" organized by the Directorate of Communications in Istanbul.

CALL FOR A FULL CEASEFIRE

Minister Fidan included the following statements in his remarks:

"We are engaged in intense diplomacy based on a two-state solution. In our initiatives and meetings, we observe that it is accepted that the only solution to the Israel-Palestine issue is the realization of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.

However, this is not enough. It is not possible to achieve a real peace by allowing Israel to cover up one war crime with another. We must implement a permanent solution with new narratives and methods.

A full ceasefire must be achieved, and aid must enter Gaza without interruption. 

As Turkey, we have presented our proposal for a guarantor system on this matter. We will not refrain from taking on the responsibility that falls upon us and standing by our Palestinian brothers and sisters.

I repeat what I have said in our private contacts and international meetings: the support given to Israel is a blank check for the killing of more Palestinians. Real peace is possible with justice and with international cooperation."
