Defending the Palestinian cause
Fidan also raised Palestine and besieged Gaza, saying they urged Trump to broker a ceasefire in the blockaded enclave.
He said President Erdogan underlined the threats posed by Israel’s occupation policies in the region and highlighted Ankara’s role in defending Palestine.
“As Türkiye, we have either led, coordinated, or supported all meetings on Palestine. We have participated in all of them and, thankfully, defended the Palestinian cause in the strongest possible way,” Fidan said.
Erdogan hailed the recognition of Palestine by many Western countries during the UN General Assembly as a highly significant development.
“This outcome is also a concrete outcome of the work we have been carrying out as the Organization of Islamic Cooperation-Arab League Joint Contact Group. We will continue to defend the just cause of the Palestinians at all times and on every platform,” Fidan said.
