Turkish FM Fidan urge immediate cease-fire in Gaza during talks with U.S. Secretary of State

The discussion was initiated by the U.S., focusing on the negotiation process between Israel and Hamas. Foreign Minister Fidan expressed deep concern over the ongoing genocide against Palestinians and the recent martyrdom of Hamas Political Bureau Chief Ismail Haniyeh, emphasizing that these events demonstrate Israel's reluctance to pursue peace.

Fidan highlighted Hamas's earlier constructive stance toward a cease-fire and urged Israel to implement a permanent cease-fire to prevent further bloodshed. He also advised Israel to avoid provocative actions that could further escalate the conflict, underscoring the importance of de-escalating tensions in the region. (ILKHA)
