Turkish Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmus said on Monday that ending the Israeli government’s actions would not only allow Palestinians to live in peace but would also help secure world peace.
Speaking at the opening of the NATO Parliamentary Summit in Istanbul, Kurtulmus said there could be no lasting peace in the world without peace in the Middle East and no peace in the Middle East without peace for Palestinians.
“The end of these acts of aggression by the Israeli government would not only allow Palestinians to attain peace and tranquillity, but would also mean securing world peace,” he said.
Kurtulmus reiterated Türkiye’s support for the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, adding that “there is no other way forward than a two-state solution.”
He also called on NATO members and the international community to support ongoing peace initiatives in the region.
