Erdoğan: Türkiye Holds Key to Resolving Palestine-Israel Conflict
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan attended an emergency meeting of the Arab League and the Organisaton for Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Saudi Arabia, emphasizing Türkiye's role in resolving the Palestine-Israel conflict and calling for an immediate cease-fire. Erdoğan criticized Israel for committing war crimes and urged the international community to take concrete action. He highlighted the need for the establishment of an independent Palestine state with East Jerusalem as its capital for lasting peace in the region. The summit resulted in a joint declaration that recognized Israeli settlers as terrorists and called for a nuclear nonproliferation conference. Erdoğan pledged Türkiye's commitment to finding a solution and providing humanitarian aid, while also planning diplomatic efforts to garner support from countries that abstained from a recent UN vote on a cease-fire.
