International reactions to the 2023 Israel–Hamas war

Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan will pay a visit to Jordan to discuss the ongoing Israeli attacks on Gaza, where millions of Palestinians are stranded with poor living conditions.

According to a statement by the Foreign Ministry on Jan. 17, Fidan will hold talks with Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi and be received by Jordan's King Abdullah II.

Türkiye has expressed its growing concerns over the potential spread of the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas to the entire Middle East amid military escalation as a result of attacks on senior Hamas officials and targets in Iran.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan asked his US counterpart Antony Blinken in a call on Sunday for Washington to use its influence over Israel to halt Israeli attacks on Gaza and the West Bank, a Turkish diplomatic source said.

The US Treasury's top terrorism financing official said on Thursday he had discussed with Turkish government officials his deep concerns about Palestinian militant group Hamas raising funds in Turkey and potentially breaking local laws.

Israel said minutes before 7 a.m. this morning - the deadline for the temporary truce with Hamas - that it would be extended, taking into account the efforts of mediators to continue the process of releasing prisoners. Hamas also confirmed that the ceasefire will be respected today.

The Islamist movement and terrorist organization, Hamas, will release more Russian hostages out of appreciation for Russian President Vladimir Putin's position on Gaza. This was stated by Mousa Abu Marzouk, the person in charge of external relations of Hamas in the Politburo, on his profile on X (formerly Twitter).

Delegations from European Union member states and Middle Eastern and north African countries are meeting yesterday in Barcelona, Spain, to discuss the crisis in Gaza, where a fragile pause in fighting is set to expire.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan also attended in meeting.

There will be no peace in the Middle East without the establishment of an independent State of Palestine, the Turkish parliament speaker has said, calling on the international community to take action to this end amid the ongoing Israeli offensive against the civilians in Gaza.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his Iranian counterpart, Ebrahim Raisi, have held a phone call for crucial talks amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, with a focus on the recent developments between Israel and Hamas.

The Palestinian terrorist group "Hamas" wants to extend the truce with Israel by 2 to 4 days, reported AFP.

For this purpose, it can release another 20 to 40 hostages in addition to the 50 already agreed upon, the agency said, citing a source close to the group.
