Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warned of a deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza and stressed the need for global intervention, during a call with French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday.
Türkiye’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and French President Emmanuel Macron held a phone call on Sunday to discuss the deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza and possible paths to peace in the region, the Turkish Presidency said in a statement.
Erdogan highlighted the urgent need for global action, warning that the humanitarian conditions in Gaza were rapidly worsening. “The international community must take action toward an immediate solution,” he said.
Calling for a sustainable resolution to the conflict, Erdogan underlined the importance of a two-state solution. “The conflict between Israel and Palestine must come to an end,” he said, describing a two-state solution as “essential for lasting peace in the region.”
The Turkish president also welcomed France’s recent decision to recognise Palestine as a state, congratulating Macron for what he described as a “principled step” amid mounting pressure for international recognition. France’s move has been supported by several pro-Palestinian groups and countries advocating for a peaceful solution based on statehood.
