Türkiye's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan stressed on Tuesday that it is important for both the regional stability and global economy that the Strait of Hormuz is not used as a weapon.
"The problem we are facing in the Gulf must in no way cause the issue of Gaza to be forgotten," Fidan said at a joint press conference with Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani.
Fidan also underlined that Israeli expansionism remains a major threat to "the stability and security" in the region.
