Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan:

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

Bloomberg:

U.S. and Israeli officials looking to the future of the Gaza Strip after dislodging Hamas have begun discussing possibilities, including potentially installing an interim government backed by the United Nations and with the involvement of Arab governments.

The discussions are still at an early stage and hinge on developments yet to unfold, not least of which would be success in an Israeli ground assault.

And any such possibility would need buy-in from Arab nations around the region, which is by no means certain.
