Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan stressed that "it is impossible for anyone to enjoy peace in the region without establishing a Palestinian state." Fidan said in an interview with the Bosnian magazine "Stav" published today: "The Palestinians are prevented from establishing a real state for themselves. It must not be forgotten that unless a Palestinian state is established, there will be no peace for anyone in that region." He added that the tragedy of the Palestinians did not begin with the start of the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip on October 7, "but rather the occupation of Palestinian lands has been ongoing for decades." He continued: "Israel does not abandon its habit of stealing Palestinian lands. Israel destroyed Gaza under the pretext of ensuring its security, and the ongoing brutality in Gaza has revealed the impotence of the current world order." "All basic human values are being tampered with in the Gaza Strip by Israel, which does not even allow humanitarian aid to reach the residents of the Strip," Vidan stressed, noting that "Israel, which targets the entire Gaza Strip, is systematically destroying people not only by bombing but also by leaving them hungry and thirsty." Vidan said: "We are facing a new Srebrenica in Gaza. .. The West, especially Europe, is on the wrong side again, the perpetrators of the massacre in Gaza must not escape punishment." Regarding the position of Western countries, including the United States and the European Union countries, towards Israel, Fidan said: "There is terrible hypocrisy, the West considers the occupation in Ukraine a crime, while it views Israel's occupation of Palestine as normal and legitimate." He added: "Those who encourage the people to resist in Ukraine consider the resistance of the Palestinians a crime and unconditionally support the resistance in Ukraine and the invaders in Palestine." Fidan pointed out that Turkey will use all diplomatic means to implement the two-state solution, recognize the Palestinian state and ensure regional pea ce and security. Fidan stressed that Israel must understand that it will not achieve anything by targeting the people of Gaza en masse. Source: National Iraqi News Agency
