Palestinian nationalism

Palestine should continue to improve its trade relations with all neighboring countries, particularly with Türkiye, which is the first and most important trade partner for Palestine, the Palestinian ambassador said Wednesday.

The genocidal war in Gaza has triggered a global reassessment of the international community's stance on the Israeli occupation of Palestine. Many countries, once aligned with Tel Aviv, are now shifting toward a more critical approach, as calls mount to hold Israel accountable for its actions in the occupied territories.

Since the October 7 attacks and the start of the war in the Gaza Strip, no part of life in the region has been left untouched - least of all, the three great religions whose histories are rooted there.

While Israeli Jews struggle to celebrate holidays or even find common ground with one another, Palestinian Muslims and Christians are struggling to reach their holy sites at all.

Türkiye appreciates Spain's support for the Palestinian cause, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan stated on Friday.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan is set to attend a meeting of the Gaza Contact Group on Friday in Madrid.

The group, formed by members of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the Arab League, aims to address the ongoing conflict in Gaza and the West Bank.

Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan will attend a key meeting of the Gaza Contact Group, established by two main Islamic organizations, in Madrid, where efforts for giving an end to the Israeli offensive through a permanent agreement and recognition of Palestine as a full state will be discussed.

Turkish Deputy Foreign Minister Nuh Yılmaz emphasized the need for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government to be held accountable for human rights violations and massacres in Gaza and other occupied Palestinian territories.

Yılmaz attended the 50th session of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Council of Foreign Ministers (CFM) in Yaounde, Cameroon.

Muslim worshippers walk at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan, in Jerusalem's Old City, April 5, 2024.

The spokesman for Türkiye's Justice and Development Party (AKP) Ömer Çelik on Monday condemned remarks made by Israel's National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir about constructing a synagogue at the al-Aqsa Mosque site.

Çelik described these comments as "vile and cursed," asserting they are an attack on all Muslims and humanity.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his finance minister have rescinded their intention to impose a full embargo on imports from Türkiye, including those destined for the Palestinian Authority, according to an Israeli newspaper.
