No: 204, 9 October 2025, Regarding the Ceasefire in Gaza

Republic Of Türkiye Ministry Of Foreign Affairs 09.10.2025

We welcome the establishment of a ceasefire in Gaza and hope that this ceasefire will bring an end to the genocide that has continued for the past two years. We expect the ceasefire agreement to be fully implemented.

With the ceasefire in place, it is imperative that humanitarian aid be delivered to Gaza—where a humanitarian catastrophe has been unfolding—and that efforts for the reconstruction of Gaza be launched without delay. Türkiye will continue to provide substantial humanitarian aid to Gaza in the period ahead.

Lasting peace in the Middle East can only be achieved through a just resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian question. We hope that the momentum achieved in the ceasefire negotiations will also contribute to the realization of a two-state solution in the coming period.

We commend the efforts of Qatar, Egypt, and the USA in mediating the ceasefire negotiations. Türkiye reaffirms its commitment to actively contribute and extend its support throughout the implementation phases of the ceasefire agreement.
