The discussion centered on the ongoing conflict in Gaza, which has seen relentless Israeli bombardment since October 7, 2023.

Since the onset of Israel's offensive, over 36,000 Palestinians have been killed, the majority of whom are women and children. More than 82,000 others have been injured, according to local health authorities. The extensive destruction has left vast areas of Gaza in ruins, compounded by a severe blockade that restricts access to food, clean water, and medicine.

The situation has drawn international condemnation, with Israel facing accusations of genocide at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The ICJ's latest ruling has called for an immediate cessation of Israeli operations in Rafah, a city in southern Gaza where over one million Palestinians have sought refuge.

Minister Fidan and Minister Kani's discussion underscores the growing concern and the urgent need for a resolution to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The international community continues to call for a halt to the ongoing genocide and for measures to address the dire conditions faced by the Palestinian population. (ILKHA)
