Erdogan Welcomes Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Ankara

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warmly welcomes Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Ankara, discussing key bilateral and regional issues.

Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian leader, was hosted by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday for discussions centered around the Gaza conflict.

During the meeting, Erdoğan reiterated Türkiye’s backing for the Palestinian cause.

The Presidential Communications Directorate has reported that the leaders convened in a confidential meeting at the Ankara-based Presidency Complex where they examined Israel’s conduct in Palestine and deliberated on measures that would lead to an enduring cessation of hostilities.

Erdoğan condemned the Western countries for their inaction or endorsement of Israel’s harm to innocent civilians in Gaza and called on Muslim and global nations alike to demand an urgent end to violence as well as assistance for humanitarian needs.

On Thursday, it is anticipated that Abbas will deliver a speech to the Turkish parliament.

Upon his arrival, Abbas was greeted by Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and Palestinian Ambassador Faed Mustafa. His speech is considered as Turkey’s answer to the contentious address of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the U.S. Congress.

He arrived at a time when the possibility of Iranian retaliation towards Israel following Hamas official Ismail Haniyeh’s assassination was stirring apprehension about an expanded war in the Middle East.

As a result of the widespread public protest, Jeffery was immediately apprehended by immigration authorities and relocated to Abuja for further scrutiny.
