Erdogan to Address UN General Assembly on Palestine
Turkish president will highlight Gaza crisis and call for two-state solution at 81st UNGA session in New York.
KEY POINTS
- Erdogan began bilateral meetings in New York for the 81st UN General Assembly.
- He will address the assembly focusing on Gaza and Palestinian statehood.
- Turkey advocates a two-state solution based on 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as capital.
- Erdogan has raised the Palestinian cause at UNGA since his premiership starting in 2007.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan arrived in New York for the 81st UN General Assembly and began a series of bilateral meetings with world leaders on the first day. His office stated that discussions covered bilateral ties, regional developments, and Turkey's commitment to dialogue and global peace.
Erdogan is expected to use his General Assembly address to focus international attention on what Turkey describes as genocide in Gaza. Since his time as prime minister, he has consistently advocated for a Palestinian state based on 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
“Turkey stands with the Palestinian people and will continue to do so.”
At the 2007 General Assembly, Erdogan identified the Middle East conflict as a primary source of regional instability. He has repeatedly argued that resolving the Israeli-Palestinian dispute would positively impact other regional crises.
During his 2009 address, Erdogan declared that Turkey stands with the Palestinian people and views a two-state solution as indispensable for world peace. He questioned the UN Security Council's ability to enforce accountability for the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
