Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Wednesday reiterated his call for an immediate cease-fire in the Gaza Strip.
"We are as a group working very hard to make sure that international community lives up to its responsibilities, both legal and moral. I think this is very important because in the absence of moral compass, we will lose our way as humanity," Fidan said at the joint stakeout by the ministerial committee assigned by the joint Arab-Islamic extraordinary summit.
The committee is in New York to attend UN Security Council meeting on the situation in the Middle East.
"Therefore, as international community, we need to do our best to address this issue at every level, at humanitarian level, at political level, and we need an immediate cease-fire. We need immediate humanitarian assistance," Fidan said.
The root cause of the problem is needed to be addressed immediately, he said, reiterating Türkiye's support for a two-state solution to the Palestine-Israel conflict, which includes the establishment of a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
