Turkish President Erdogan:

It is clear that security cannot be ensured by slaughtering children, women and civilians and bombing hospitals, schools, mosques and churches. Cruelty is no way to achieve security.

Instead of turning back from the mistake and acting with state wisdom, the Israeli administration acts like an organization, provoked by extra-regional actors.

Turkish President Erdogan:

We believe that the establishment of new mechanisms to guarantee the security of Muslims, Jews, Christians and all who live in this land will bring lasting stability to our region.

Türkiye will continue to do its part to prevent more innocent bloodshed, more humanitarian tragedies and to resolve the conflict in Palestine before it reaches an irreversible point.

The perception of reality produced by the West supports one movement in Ukraine and another in Palestine.

If you make an argument for Ukraine, you have to make the same argument for Palestine.

But it is important to remember that every action triggers a process, good or bad.

Any conscience-destroying steps and operations taken in this regard will eventually result in accelerating the bankruptcy of the international hegemonic system. It is already bankrupt to a large extent.

On the Palestinian issue, the West is telling a lie to itself and to the world. A serious system cannot be built on that lie. There is a gradual loss of blood. We see this too.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan:

America and some other countries do not act with a strategic mind.

The issue of supporting the state of Israel, which has become a metaphysical belief, is often the biggest obstacle for American politicians to pursue a rational policy.

We also see that certain areas of pressure are working. This is a very bleeding situation for America.

It is an issue that is extremely detrimental to its moral superiority and leaves it with nothing to say to the world
