Türkiye’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan stated on Wednesday that Türkiye is willing to participate in a guarantor mechanism proposed by Ankara to end Israel’s war on Palestine, provided that an agreement on a two-state solution is reached.

Fidan warned that without the immediate implementation of the two-state solution, a fourth Gaza war is inevitable.

“We will be perpetually entangled in conflicts,” he said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has another agenda, Fidan said, adding: “Cease-fire in Palestine doesn’t align” with his political objectives.

Fight against terrorism

On Türkiye’s fight against the PKK/YPG terrorist group, Fidan said that PKK is spreading across Iraq like “a cancer cell.”

He added, “This is no longer just our problem; it has now become a security issue for Iraq.”

“We need to fight against PKK/YPG, and return oil and energy resources it controls to the Syrian people,” the foreign minister said.
