Turkey opposes Israel’s plan to occupy Gaza, says Muslim countries should work together

Turkey has come out against Israel’s plan to occupy Gaza. Turkey’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan condemned Israel’s decision and said that all Muslim countries should work together. Also, Israel’s plan should be opposed at the global level. Egypt also condemned Israel’s decision. However, Israel has denied the plan to occupy Gaza.

After meeting President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Atti in Egypt, Turkey’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said that this is a new phase of Israel’s genocidal and expansionist policies. Measures need to be taken at the global level to stop this. That’s why we have called the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) for an emergency meeting. Fidan said that the aim of Israel’s policy is to drive the Palestinians out of their land through starvation. Also, to permanently attack Gaza. Fidan said that Muslim countries have no excuse to support Israel.

At the same time, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Atti said that this is also extremely dangerous. It is not only a threat to the Palestinians but also to neighboring countries. Israel’s plans are unacceptable. There is full coordination with Turkey on Gaza. He informed about the OIC Ministerial Committee’s condemnation of Israel’s plan.

Organization of Islamic Cooperation also condemned
The OIC Committee said that Israel’s plan is a dangerous and unacceptable escalation, a gross violation of international law and an attempt to consolidate illegal occupation. This will destroy any chance of peace. The OIC has asked global powers and the United Nations Security Council to understand their legal and humanitarian responsibilities. Take immediate action to stop Israel’s plan to occupy Gaza. Also ensure immediate accountability for violations of international law.

Recently, the Israeli Security Council approved the occupation of Gaza. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu said that the cabinet has adopted five principles. This includes the disarmament of Hamas, the return of all 50 remaining hostages, the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip, Israeli security control over the Gaza Strip, and the existence of an alternative civilian government.
