Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer discussed bilateral relations as well as regional and global issues in a phone call on Friday.
Erdoğan told Starmer that this year's United Nations General Assembly was useful in advancing efforts toward a two-state solution in Palestine.
Congratulating Starmer on the UK's decision to recognize Palestine as a state, Erdoğan noted that the recognition of Palestine by UN Security Council members, including the UK and France, was a "historic development."
The Turkish president stressed that the momentum in support of Palestine should be maintained and that measures beyond diplomatic pressure are needed to stop the Netanyahu government.
