Turkey and Qatar collaborating to alleviate the humanitarian predicament in Gaza: Diplomatic Representative
In the ongoing crisis in Gaza, Turkey and Qatar have taken a united stand, advocating for a ceasefire and humanitarian relief.
Qatar, as a key mediator, has received a positive response from Hamas to its ceasefire proposal. The proposed terms aim to curb the escalating humanitarian catastrophe in the region. Hamas has agreed to terms similar to a previous U.S. proposal, emphasizing the critical need to broker peace amid worsening famine and destruction in Gaza.
Qatar's spokesperson has indicated that failure to maintain the ceasefire would significantly worsen the humanitarian crisis. The country is also working to increase aid delivery despite the limitations imposed by the Israeli blockade and limited aid flows.
Turkey, while not explicitly detailing its latest stance in the recent statements, has historically taken a strong position urging for an end to hostilities and the protection of Palestinian civilians. The country positions itself as a proponent of regional security through dialogue and humanitarian support.
Both countries are actively involved in mediation efforts to foster regional stability. These efforts include seeking resolutions that include ceasefires, humanitarian aid corridors, and political engagement.
Turkey's Parliament Speaker, Numan Kurtulmus, has condemned Israel's plan to separate the West Bank from East Jerusalem as an illegal plan that violates international law. The AK Party spokesman, Omer Celik, has criticized Israel's plan to build settlements separating the West Bank from East Jerusalem as a continuation of "cursed genocide actions."
The Turkish ambassador has emphasized Turkey's call on the international community to take urgent action to stop violations in Gaza and hold perpetrators accountable. The ambassador also reiterated Turkey's support for an independent and sovereign Palestinian state with geographical integrity, with East Jerusalem as its capital, based on the 1967 borders.
In summary, Qatar is currently a key mediator urging a ceasefire in Gaza, with Hamas showing a positive response to their proposed terms. Turkey aligns with these efforts by advocating for peace, humanitarian aid, and regional stability. Both countries remain focused on mitigating the humanitarian crisis while promoting long-term regional security.
