Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan urged the international community to play a more proactive role in achieving an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and advancing a two-state solution to the conflict, according to a Turkish diplomatic source speaking at the G20 summit in Brazil.
Turkey, which has strongly condemned Israel's actions in Gaza and advocated for its prosecution for genocide at the World Court, has consistently called for a cessation of hostilities. Unlike its Western allies and certain Gulf nations, Turkey, a NATO member, does not classify Hamas, the Palestinian militant group governing Gaza, as a terrorist organization, despite its recent attack inside Israel that triggered Israeli military action.
During discussions at the G20 foreign ministers meeting in Rio de Janeiro, Minister Fidan emphasized the urgency of ending the violence in Gaza and explored avenues to secure a ceasefire and increase humanitarian aid to the region. Talks with counterparts from the United States, Germany, and Egypt centered on concrete steps to halt the conflict.
Fidan lamented the lack of consensus on a ceasefire resolution at the UN Security Council, underscoring the need for reform to ensure greater inclusivity and representation on global issues.
Turkey advocates for reforms within the UN Security Council to reflect the diversity of the international community better.
