Turkey's top security body says the US plan for the Middle East is aimed at legitimising oppression and occupation of Palestine and Jerusalem
"US' so-called peace plan aims to legitimise occupation, destruction and oppression of Palestine," Turkey's National Security Council said in a statement on Thursday.
"The only solution is the establishment of an independent Palestine on the basis of 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital," the council said in a statement issued following its meeting, headed by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, in the Turkish capital Ankara. Trump's so-called peace plan unilaterally annuls previous UN resolutions on the Palestinian issue and has drawn criticism for giving Israel almost everything it demanded.The council stressed the importance of taking further measures against terrorism in various parts of Syria, especially Idlib.
His death marked a dramatic escalation in tensions between the US and Iran, which have often been at a fever pitch since Trump chose in 2018 to unilaterally withdraw Washington from a 2015 nuclear pact world powers struck with Tehran. On January 12, parties in Libya announced a cease-fire in response to a joint call by the leaders of Turkey and Russia. But two days later in Russia, talks for a permanent ceasefire ended without an agreement after warlord Haftar left Moscow without signing the deal.
