1. “Otherwise, what is written on paper runs the risk of remaining on paper, as has happened up until now. Türkiye is ready to assume its role in regional ownership, together with other countries in the region. The responsibility for stopping the bloodshed and starting a meaningful process for peace lies, first and foremost, with the Security Council. The last time this body spoke with one voice and agreed on a resolution regarding Gaza was in January 2009. Resolution 1860 (2009) was adopted at the time with Türkiye’s contributions as a member of the Security Council. We urge the Council to put an end to its indifference to the ongoing carnage, which can have no place in the twenty-first century.”

2. “First, the cessation of hostilities must be achieved through an immediate, unconditional and lasting ceasefire. Secondly, the unhindered flow of humanitarian assistance into Gaza must absolutely be ensured. To that end, I hope the Council will enforce keeping the Rafah crossing open for the steady flow of humanitarian assistance. Thirdly, the two parties, Israel and Palestine, must be brought together to agree on the two-State solution, living side by side, in secure pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Palestine. It is true that such a vision for settlement has remained elusive despite several serious attempts. What is required now is a guaranteed mechanism for monitoring, verifying and, when needed, enforcing the obligations of the parties.”

3. “There can be no justification for the collective punishment of civilians in Gaza. Some prefer to look the other way in the face of such atrocities. They prefer not to speak about crimes against humanity and war crimes. They prefer to pretend as if the Palestinian people are just numbers and have no souls or rights. This is absolutely unacceptable. This is sheer hypocrisy and an embodiment of a double standard that constitutes the very root cause of the problem we are facing today. If we continue treading the same path, today’s problems between Israel and Palestine will only increase in magnitude. We urge immediate action to prevent the conflict from spilling over to the wider region and beyond. Therefore, for us, what needs to be done is crystal clear.”

4. “Mr. Yıldız (Türkiye): Türkiye joins others in thanking the Brazilian presidency for organizing this open debate. It is a timely meeting, as one of the greatest tragedies of recent history is unfolding in front of our eyes. As we speak here, innocent Palestinian people in Gaza, with a population of 2.5 million, squeezed into a very tiny territory, are under constant and indiscriminate bombing. More hospitals, schools and places of worship have become a shelter for them, as Israeli missiles continue targeting them regardless of where they are or whether they are sick or wounded. As of today, the Israeli military has killed more Palestinian children since 7 October than it did in all other military Israeli offences on Gaza since 2006 combined. The number of children killed is quickly approaching 2,000.”
