Urgent cease-fire should be declared in Gaza, Turkish FM tells U.S. security adviser

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Thursday met with U.S. President Joe Biden's National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan in Washington. Steps to be taken for a ceasefire in Gaza were discussed in the meeting.

An urgent cease-fire should be declared and humanitarian aid must be increased in Gaza, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan told U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan during a meeting in Washington on Thursday, diplomatic sources said.

Israel has killed more than 30,000 Palestinians in Gaza since the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas incursion, which claimed about 1,200 lives. The military campaign and siege have also led to mass displacement, destruction and shortages of food.

The meeting also highlighted the necessity for the Ukraine war not to prolong further, and emphasized that the resolution should be within the "territorial and political integrity of Ukraine."

The interaction also underscored Türkiye's determination in fighting terrorist organizations in Syria, urging the U.S. to act in accordance with the spirit of alliance and sever its ties with the PKK's affiliated terrorist groups.

The importance of political stability in Iraq was also underlined, with the issue of combating "entrenched terrorist organizations" in the region discussed.

Support for the Azerbaijan-Armenia peace process was also deliberated, and it was stressed that progress in this regard would be crucial for the well-being of the Caucasus region.

Separately, Fidan met Benjamin Cardin, chair of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, along with other members of the committee, according to the Turkish Foreign Ministry.
