Türkiye’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Wednesday rejected US President Donald Trump’s plan to displace Palestinians from Gaza, calling it “unacceptable”, adding that even considering such an idea is wrong, reports Anadolu Agency.
Fidan said Turkiye opposes all initiatives that seek to exclude the people of Gaza from the equation in the region, reaffirming its commitment to Palestinian rights.
The ceasefire in Gaza appeared to be holding for now, he said, but warned of obstacles to the delivery of humanitarian aid.
“There are issues with the transfer of essential supplies such as shelters, heavy machinery, and qualified humanitarian aid necessary to rebuild lives in Gaza,” he noted.
He expressed concern that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may resume the military operations in Gaza once the hostage situation has been resolved.
“We need to assess what kind of stance and sanctions the guarantor countries can take in response,” he said, emphasising that the US is the only nation capable of exerting pressure on Israel.
He warned that the world is shifting toward a “law of the jungle,” where no one considers the needs of others and applies the philosophy of “might makes right”.
