“Our friends once again expressed that America is now alone on this issue, especially in the voting held at the United Nations today,” Fidan told Anadolu and Turkish national broadcaster TRT in an exclusive interview in the US.
Fidan was in the capital Washington, D.C. along with his counterparts after they were assigned by a joint Arab-Islamic extraordinary summit last month to press for a cease-fire in Gaza, which has been under Israeli attacks for over two months.
The summit mandated the foreign ministers of Turkey, Palestine, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, and Nigeria to take international action to stop the war in Gaza and achieve lasting peace.
Israel launched the war on Gaza on October 7 after Hamas-led Palestinian Resistance groups waged the surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm against the occupying entity in response to the regime’s decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.
More than 17,400 people, most of them women and children, have been killed and over 46,480 others injured in Israel’s relentless air and ground attacks on Gaza.
