Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş said Monday that ending Israel's military actions against Palestinians would be essential not only for achieving peace in the Middle East but also for ensuring broader global stability.
Speaking at the opening of the NATO Parliamentary Summit in Istanbul, Kurtulmuş said lasting peace could not be achieved without a peaceful Middle East, and that peace in the region was impossible without a just resolution for the Palestinian people.
"The end of these acts of aggression by the Israeli government would not only allow Palestinians to attain peace and tranquility, but would also mean securing world peace," he said.
Kurtulmuş reiterated Türkiye's support for the establishment of an independent and sovereign Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, saying a two-state solution remained the only viable path toward a lasting settlement.
He also urged NATO allies and the wider international community to support diplomatic efforts to end conflicts across the region.
