Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has reaffirmed Türkiye’s unwavering support for Palestine during a meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas at the Presidential Complex in Ankara. The discussions focused on Israel's escalating violence in Palestinian territories and the urgent need for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.

In the meeting, President Erdogan emphasized Türkiye's steadfast commitment to the Palestinian cause. He assured President Abbas that Türkiye will continue to support Palestine and intensify international pressure on Israel to end its aggressive actions. “Türkiye will continue to support Palestine’s just cause and work to stop Israel,” Erdogan stated.
