Turkey calls UNSC demand for Gaza ceasefire ‘a positive step’
Turkey calls a UN Security Council resolution passed earlier today demanding an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip and the release of all hostages “a positive step.”
“We hope that Israel will comply with the requirements of this resolution without delay,” Turkish foreign affairs spokesman Oncu Keceli writes on X, formerly Twitter.
“We call on the international community to take a united stand against Israel to end the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and to find a lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,” he adds.
