ANKARA, Nov. 13 (Xinhua) — The Palestinian Hamas movement has demonstrated its willingness to take constructive steps to achieve a lasting ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said here on Wednesday, calling on Israel to take the same approach to achieve peace.
"Hamas is demonstrating its willingness to take constructive steps to ensure a permanent ceasefire. Israel must demonstrate the same understanding," said H. Fidan at a joint press conference with Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Ata, who was visiting the country.
H. Fidan stated that Gaza is an integral part of Palestine and the international community should treat it as such.
He also announced that a Turkish ship carrying humanitarian aid had departed from the port of Mersin to the Egyptian port of El Arish to deliver supplies to Gaza, and confirmed that Turkey would participate in the upcoming Gaza conference hosted by Egypt.
Speaking about Gaza's post-war future, H. Fidan said that the UN Security Council is currently discussing the mandate of the proposed international stabilization force. "It is necessary to clarify the responsibilities of this force and the legal and political framework for the Palestinian Committee and the Peace Council, which are expected to govern Gaza," he said.
B. Abdel Atty, in turn, stated that Egypt and Turkey agreed to work together to ensure a ceasefire and advance the peace process. He said both countries support the diplomatic efforts of Qatar and the United States to make the ceasefire permanent and reaffirmed their support for the two-state solution based on the 1967 borders.
