Türkiye's National Security Council (MGK) on Thursday called on the international community to take a principled stance against Israel's actions in Gaza, the occupied West Bank and Lebanon, while reaffirming Ankara's commitment to a "terror-free Türkiye" and welcoming the recent agreement reached between Iran and the United States, according to a statement issued by the Presidential Communications Directorate.
The council evaluated efforts toward achieving the goals of a "terror-free Türkiye" and a "terror-free region," stressing Ankara's determination to free both the Turkish nation and neighboring countries from the burden of terrorism.
The statement also addressed regional developments, particularly the situation in the Middle East. The MGK said Israel's continued cease-fire violations in Gaza, settler violence in the occupied West Bank, attacks targeting the status of East Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque, as well as actions undermining Lebanon's sovereignty and territorial integrity, were negatively affecting efforts to establish peace and stability in the region.
The council called on the international community to adopt a principled position against what it described as Israel's persistent disregard for universal humanitarian values and international law.
