Turkiye reiterates support for Palestine on 37th founding anniversary
Turkiye has congratulated the State of Palestine on the 37th anniversary of its founding, reiterating support for the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people.
The Foreign Ministry issued a message on the Turkish social media platform NSosyal, saying: “Happy 37th anniversary of the founding of the friendly and brotherly State of Palestine! As Turkiye, we will continue to defend the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people and support their just cause.”
“Our country’s goal remains the establishment of an independent, sovereign and territorially integrated State of Palestine within the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, based on a two-state solution for lasting peace,” it added.
The State of Palestine was declared on November 15, 1988, by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in Algiers, Algeria, during a meeting of the Palestinian National Council.
The declaration came amid efforts to gain international recognition and assert Palestinian sovereignty following decades of conflict and Israeli occupation. Since then, Palestine has been recognised by numerous countries worldwide, though it continues to seek full UN membership and broader international recognition.
Jordanian king, Pakistani premier vow ‘zero-tolerance’ for displacement of Palestinians from Gaza
Jordanian King Abdullah and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif have vowed “zero-tolerance” for any displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.
Sharif hosted King Abdullah in Islamabad on a two-day state visit.
“On the issue of Palestine, both leaders acknowledged the unanimity of views and principled positions taken by Pakistan and Jordan regarding the post-war Gaza; zero-tolerance for any displacement of Palestinians from Gaza,” Sharif’s office said in a statement.
The two leaders agreed to enhance coordination among the eight Arab-Islamic countries that are working with the US on the Gaza ceasefire and peace plan, which includes a new governance structure and rebuilding of the enclave destroyed by Israel.
The two sides also discussed further deepening of bilateral relations as well as exploring avenues for enhanced cooperation in the economic, trade, investment, health, science and technology, education, as well as defence sectors.
