However, we are closely following reports that the ceasefire has been violated.

We invite the parties to fully adhere to the ceasefire during this critical period ahead.

In this period, when the Middle East needs peace and stability more than ever, steps toward a comprehensive and lasting solution must be taken with determination. In this context, we believe that keeping channels of dialogue and diplomacy open is of vital importance.

The ongoing process has once again shown that the Palestinian issue, which lies at the root of many problems in the Middle East, must be resolved as soon as possible.

Turkey is ready to support all efforts toward ensuring peace in the region and to provide constructive contributions."
