President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke by phone with President Mahmoud Abbas of Palestine.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan shared a post on his social media account regarding the phone call with President Abbas of Palestine, and said:
"While bitterly observing Ramadan in light of the events unfolding in Palestine, especially in Jerusalem, I wished Allah’s mercy on our brothers and sisters who lost their lives in Israel’s attacks and for the recovery for those who were injured. During our call, I told Mr. Abbas that I strongly condemn Israel's interventions against the worshippers in the Al-Aqsa Mosque and that we would stand up to provocations and threats to its status and spirit."
Türkiye is always on Palestine's side. The incidents remind us that all Palestinian groups must work collaboratively to achieve unity and reconciliation. I also expressed my gratitude to Mr. Abbas for his prudent leadership in achieving unity as well as his calls for moderation."
