In recent years, Turkey has been playing an active role in establishing peace and stability across a vast geography, from the Caucasus to North Africa, Somalia, the Balkans, and Ukraine. Similarly, regarding Gaza, under your leadership, we, as Turkey, have made the most sincere efforts over the last two years, and have also spearheaded a ceasefire. How will the next process and subsequent stages unfold in Gaza?
US President Trump, Egyptian President Sisi, Qatari Emir Al Thani, and myself have signed a quadruple agreement. These signatures are not ordinary. With these signatures, this will for peace has been enshrined in the annals of history. If you wish, let's read the text we signed:
The Trump Agreement for Lasting Peace and Prosperity. We, the undersigned, welcome the historic commitment made by all parties to the Trump Peace Agreement and its implementation, which ends over two years of profound suffering and loss and opens a new chapter for the region defined by hope, security, and a shared vision for peace and prosperity. We support and stand behind President Trump's sincere efforts to end the Gaza conflict and bring lasting peace to the Middle East. We will jointly implement this agreement in a way that ensures peace, security, stability, and opportunity for all peoples in the region, including Palestinians and Israelis. We understand that lasting peace will be one in which both Palestinians and Israelis can live in prosperity, where their fundamental human rights are protected, their security is guaranteed, and their dignity is preserved. We emphasize that meaningful progress can only be achieved through cooperation and ongoing dialogue, and that strengthening ties between nations and peoples serves the enduring interests of regional and global peace and stability. For faith communities whose roots are intertwined in these lands, including Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, this region holds a deep We recognize their historical and spiritual significance. Respecting these sacred ties and protecting cultural heritage sites will remain a fundamental priority in our commitment to peaceful coexistence. We are united in our resolve to eliminate all forms of extremism and radicalization. No society can thrive where violence and racism are normalized, or where radical ideologies threaten the very fabric of civil life. We pledge to address the conditions that enable extremism and to promote education, equal opportunity, and mutual respect as the foundations of lasting peace. We hereby pledge to resolve future disputes through diplomatic engagement and negotiation, not through the use of force or protracted conflict. We recognize that the Middle East can no longer tolerate a cycle of perpetual wars, stalled negotiations, or successfully negotiated but fragmented, incomplete, or selectively implemented agreements. The tragedies witnessed in the last two years should serve as an urgent warning that future generations deserve better than the failures of the past. We must ensure that this region is a place where everyone, regardless of race, faith, or ethnicity, can pursue their aspirations for peace, security, and economic prosperity, ensuring tolerance and dignity for all. We seek equality of opportunity. We pursue a comprehensive vision of peace, security, and shared prosperity in the region, based on the principles of mutual respect and shared destiny. In this spirit, we welcome the progress made toward establishing comprehensive and lasting peace arrangements in the Gaza Strip, as well as the friendly and mutually beneficial relationship between Israel and its neighbors in the region. We pledge to work together to realize and sustain this legacy by building the institutional foundations on which future generations can coexist peacefully. We are committed to a future of enduring peace.
