Unified Turkic world will pave way to ceasefire and peace in Israel-Palestine conflict: Erdogan

Astana, The Gulf Observer: A unified Turkic world acting together will help pave the way to a ceasefire and permanent peace in the Israel-Palestine conflict, the Turkish president has said.

“There is nothing that could justify what we have witnessed since October7,” said Recep Tayyip Erdogan, referring to Israel’s relentless attacks on Gaza, in a speech he gave on Friday at the Organization of Turkic States summit in Astana, Kazakhstan’s capital.

“There is no word to describe this brutality. For a full 28 days, crimes against humanity have been committed in Gaza.”

On Türkiye’s assistance to Palestinians affected by Israeli attacks, Erdogan said it has sent 10 plane loads of humanitarian aid to Gaza so far and will send more as conditions allow.

“Our efforts to organise an international peace conference are ongoing,” he said, referring to a Turkish initiative to end the conflict.

Türkiye will continue to take steps towards the peace, prosperity, and security of the entire Turkic world, Erdogan added.
