During a recent joint press conference with Senegalese President Bassirou Diomaye Faye, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan emphasized the importance of Senegal’s stance on the Palestinian issue, particularly its support for a two-state solution. He described this position as “extremely valuable,” highlighting the solidarity of African nations in understanding the implications of oppression, war, and violence, especially in the context of Israel’s actions in Palestine.
Erdogan stated, “We are following the steadfast stance of our African brothers, who understand what oppression, war, and massacre mean, against Israel’s genocidal policies.” He expressed concern over the escalating violence in the region, warning that it is “heading toward a serious firestorm” and predicting that the situation will worsen in the near future.
He also addressed the historical context of imperialism in Africa, asserting that it has taught valuable lessons about building a peaceful future. “Imperialists have learned in Africa that a peaceful future cannot be built on blood and massacre,” Erdogan added, suggesting that this truth will also become evident in areas like Gaza and Lebanon.
In his remarks, Erdogan called on all countries with a “sense of conscience” to increase pressure on the Israeli government regarding its policies, urging a unified response to address the ongoing violence and humanitarian crises.
Erdogan’s comments reflect Türkiye’s growing involvement in international discussions about the Palestinian cause, emphasizing solidarity with African nations and a commitment to advocating for peace based on justice and equality.
