A genocide is currently taking place in Palestine, and Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan expressed frustration with the lack of international action to stop it during a session at the Future of Palestine conference in Ankara.
Fidan described the situation in Gaza as a genocide, with 42,000 people, mainly women and children, intentionally and systematically killed.
He criticized the international community for its ineffectiveness in halting the ongoing tragedy in Palestine and emphasized the need for immediate action before the conflict escalates further.
The Turkish foreign minister reiterated Türkiye’s support for a two-state solution for peace and urged the global community to push for this outcome.
Israel’s continued offensive in Gaza has resulted in significant casualties and displacement of the population, further exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in the region.
Israel faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice, with Türkiye seeking to become a party against Israel.
Other speakers at the conference, including Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, criticized Israel’s actions and called for international accountability for the atrocities committed in Gaza and Lebanon.
Making Israel ‘pay’
In discussing the Israel-Palestine conflict, Fidan highlighted the need to hold Israel accountable for its actions and make them pay a price for their atrocities in Gaza.
He emphasized the importance of not forgetting about the ongoing crisis in Palestine, even in the face of Israel’s aggression in Lebanon.
Fidan called for international efforts to deliver aid to Palestinians in need and denounced Israel’s targeting of humanitarian agencies and their classification as terrorist organizations.
He proposed using sanctions and legal actions against Israel and its supporters as a way to pressure them to change their behavior and end the suffering in Palestine.
Fidan stressed the urgency of implementing a two-state solution to bring an end to the conflict and ensure lasting peace in the region.
Safadi echoed similar sentiments, expressing concern over the impact of Israel’s actions on Gaza and calling for accountability for their violations through legal means.
