Turkey stands with Egypt in rejecting the exile of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip in the face of Israel's war with the Hamas militant group, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said alongside his counterpart in Cairo on Saturday.
Fidan, on his first trip as minister to Egypt, said it is important to act to stop the conflict from spreading and to re-start peace talks centred on achieving a two-state solution for Israelis and Palestinians.
"The loss of civilian life must be stopped regardless of which side they're on," he said. "We see that some states try to justify Israel's attacks on Gaza as some sort of justifiable act. We invite Israel to stick to international law and humanitarian values."
