Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan Friday renewed his call for the recognition of the State of Palestine.
‘Since October 7, nine countries have recognized the State of Palestine. I once again call on the countries that have not yet done so to recognize Palestine,’ President Erdogan stated during a joint press conference with his Serbian counterpart Aleksandar Vucic in Belgrade, as reported by the Turkish news website ANews.
‘The international community has a fundamental responsibility to send the right messages to Israel and put an end to the ongoing massacre,’ he added.
‘The tragedies unfolding in Gaza, the occupied Palestinian territories, and Lebanon were also naturally on our agenda. It is time to say ‘stop’ to Israel’s attacks, which trample on human dignity. The root cause of the issue is the continued occupation of Palestinian lands by Israel. Therefore, an independent, sovereign, and geographically integrated Palestinian state, based on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, must
be established,’ he elaborated.
