Minister Fidan’s Statements
Minister Fidan, “Netanyahu does not want peace, he wants to set the region on fire. Haniyeh’s martyrdom in a vile assassination is an indication of this. The West is playing the three monkeys.

In addition, “Diplomacy is talking less and doing more quietly. It is not falling into delirium. It is being able to restrain the seduction of exciting the masses. It is not being carried away by the artificial praise of the crowds.”He made statements as follows.
Call to Respect Israel’s Sovereignty
Tan continued his statement by stating that the so-called sovereignty of the terrorist state of Israel, which has brutally murdered more than 40 thousand innocent people in Gaza, must be respected, “Diplomacy is the ability to gather and apply the knowledge, maturity and art of being based on the principles of the UN, of which Turkey is a founding member, being rule-based, respecting the sovereign equality of nations, and carefully avoiding the threat of using force and intervening in internal affairs.”He spoke as follows.
Reactions on Social Media
