SON DAKİKA... Gazze’de ateşkes imzalandı! Türkiye’den ilk açıklama: Her alanda Filistinlilere destek vereceğiz!

Following negotiations between Israeli and Hamas delegations, a ceasefire in Gaza has come into effect. The agreement was reportedly signed by both parties, with Turkey acting as the guarantor. Following the ceasefire's entry into force, Türkiye issued its first statement.

Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, Numan Kurtulmuş, made the following statement regarding the ceasefire:

The liberation of Gaza was made possible by the coming together of the fleets, civil society, the international community, and influential states, especially our country. Thanks to the solidarity of the humanitarian front, the agreement has begun to alleviate the suffering in Palestine to some extent. It has been clearly agreed that Israeli aggression, which has reached genocidal proportions, will no longer be tolerated. We will stand by our word until the war-criminal Netanyahu administration is held accountable in the courts. The sacrifices of the resisting Palestinian people and our brothers who paid the price with their lives are beyond praise. Our greatest wish is that the planned peace and the ceasefire achieved will be lasting. A just peace can only be achieved through justice, security, and the widespread recognition of a fully independent Palestinian state. This agreement is a significant step towards that end. Without diverting our attention and eyes from Gaza, we will continue to work for humanitarian aid, a political solution, and lasting peace.

AK PARTY SPOKESMAN ÇELİK: "OUR STRUGGLE WILL CONTINUE UNTIL A PALESTINIAN STATE IS ESTABLISHED"

AK Party Spokesperson Ömer Çelik made the following statement on social media:

The Hamas-Israel talks resulting in a ceasefire in Gaza is an important step in stopping the massacres targeting the oppressed people of Gaza and ensuring that humanitarian aid reaches Gaza.

US President Trump's peace plan and political will to achieve peace enabled this positive window to open. The valuable efforts of our brotherly nations, Qatar and Egypt, have greatly supported this outcome. We thank them all.

We witness the struggle and dedication of our President, who has been putting up a fight day and night, with all his heart, strength and experience, without even a minute's pause, to ensure that our brothers and sisters in Gaza can breathe, to ensure a ceasefire and to achieve lasting peace.

At times, our President single-handedly carried the burden on behalf of the"humanity alliance," and at other times, he mobilized all his strength and time to mobilize the entire human alliance. From the outset, he made this struggle for humanity the focus of his life. We extend our gratitude to our President for his efforts and dedication.

We will continue our struggle until an independent, sovereign and geographically integrated Palestinian state is established in Palestine based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

May God have mercy on all our Palestinian martyrs, especially the innocent children, who are monuments of honor and dignity. May they rest in peace.
