Ammon News - During a joint press conference with President Mahmoud Abbas in Ankara, the capital of Turkey, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said it has become all the more obvious with the recent incidents that peace cannot prevail in the Middle East without a fair solution to the Israel-Palestine issue.

Yet, he added, the only path to lasting peace is the establishment of an independent, sovereign and geographically-integrated Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

“We have been exerting extraordinary efforts in this regard since October 7. Israel’s attacks on the occupied Palestinian territories have topped our agenda in our every meeting and our every foreign visit,” he affirmed.

in regards to humanitarian aid, Erdogan said Turkey has sent over 37 tons of supplies to the region by ships and planes, adding that his country has transferred over 900 patients and their attendants to Turkey for treatment.

“Our efforts continue for the establishment of a field hospital in Gaza,” the Turkish President added.

“It is futile for the international community to instead try to manage the consequences of the ongoing occupation; it is a meaningless and useless approach. In this respect, all the relevant states should share responsibility in a manner to help the parties to the problems,” Erdogan said. WAFA
