In statements to the press on his return flight from Egypt after participating in the Sharm El-Sheikh Peace Summit, the president strongly condemned the crimes committed by Israel and urged the international community to prevent “the genocide in Gaza” from going unpunished.

We must maintain a firmer stance with Gaza and continue our fight to ensure that the genocide is not forgotten, the head of State affirmed, referring to the Israeli siege that left thousands dead and wounded, mostly civilians.

Erdoğan believed that the only viable solution to the conflict is the establishment of an independent, sovereign, and geographically continuous Palestinian state, with the 1967 borders and East Jerusalem as its capital.

The Turkish president stressed the importance of effectively implementing the agreements reached at the recent regional summit and called for increased pressure on Tel Aviv, especially from the United States, to ensure their compliance.
