Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said his country has decided to sever all economic and trade ties with Israel and close its airspace to Israeli aircraft. This comes as a result of Israel's continued perpetration of mass massacres against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, and its aggressive policies extending from the Gaza Strip to Jerusalem, the West Bank, Syria, Iran, and Lebanon.
During an extraordinary session of the Turkish Parliament on the latest developments in Gaza, Fidan affirmed that Israeli plans to occupy all of Gaza are ongoing, and that it seeks to destroy the two-state solution with unlimited American support.
He criticized the international response to these crises, saying that the global system has failed to shoulder its responsibilities to stop the Israeli massacres, emphasizing that Israel is practicing a brutal policy of starvation against Palestinians in Gaza in an attempt to expel them.
He emphasized that Israel's clear goal is to make Gaza uninhabitable in order to force its people to leave, noting that the occupation's refusal to allow aid into Gaza has led to the deaths of thousands of Palestinians as part of its starvation policy.
The Turkish Foreign Minister emphasized that the latest developments confirm that Tel Aviv seeks to occupy all Palestinian territories, and that extremist ministers and settlers are attempting to escalate tensions by storming Al-Aqsa Mosque. He noted Turkey's ongoing efforts with Qatar and Egypt to find a radical solution to the issue.
He said that Israel's aggressive policies extended beyond Gaza to Jerusalem, the West Bank, Syria, Iran, and Lebanon, emphasizing that Israel's efforts to plunge all countries in the region into chaos continue, and that the Israeli mentality does not recognize international law and flouts it.
He also stated that the occupying state does not want a strong new Syrian state, emphasizing that Türkiye will not allow such policies to continue. He added that the ongoing tension between Israel and Iran threatens the security and stability of the region.
