Turkey, a NATO member, consistently opposes Israel's actions in Gaza. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan sharply criticized Israeli policy on the eve of the meeting.
Hamas has adhered to the ceasefire, while Israel has a very poor record in this regard. Since the signing of the agreement, we have faced an administration that has killed more than 200 innocent people and has not stopped its occupation
– Erdoğan said in Istanbul.
He also stressed that Ankara will not allow the annexation of the West Bank or a change in the status of Jerusalem, emphasizing the importance of protecting the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
At the same time, consultations are underway on the terms of the mandate of the ceasefire monitoring force, which must be approved by the UN Security Council.
