The Prime Minister briefed Erdogan on the situation in Palestine and the Israeli violations and measures, stressing that the occupation government is waging an all-out war against the Palestinian people, their land, holy places and resources, and employs the policy of killings and settlements for electoral purposes at the expense of Palestinian blood.

Shtayyeh warned of the seriousness of the situation in the occupied territories in light of the political vacuum and the world’s preoccupation with other issues, as well as the absence of accountability for the occupying country for its crimes and violations.
