Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas held a critical phone discussion on Saturday, focusing on escalating tensions in Gaza and broader regional challenges, according to an official statement from Ankara.
Erdogan emphasized the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza amid renewed Israeli military operations, stressing that Palestinian unity remains 'essential to overcoming this crisis.' He reiterated Türkiye's commitment to advocating for Palestinian interests globally, stating: 'We will ensure Palestine's voice is heard loudly in all international forums.'
The call underscores Türkiye's proactive diplomatic role in Middle Eastern affairs, with both leaders also addressing strategies to stabilize regional relations. Analysts suggest such dialogues could influence international responses to the conflict, particularly in humanitarian aid coordination.
