CORRECTS EGYPTIAN FOREIGN MINISTER'S NAME, OTHER SMALL CHANGES; CHANGES DECK

ISTANBUL (AA) – Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Saturday said that Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories is one of the primary causes of instability in the Middle East region.
Addressing a joint news conference in Istanbul with his Egyptian counterpart Sameh Shoukry, Fidan said the Palestine issue may trigger global issues, adding: “Cooperation between Egypt and Türkiye is extremely beneficial for our peoples and the region.”
Flouting an International Court of Justice provisional ruling, Israel continues its onslaught on the Gaza Strip where over 34,000 Palestinians have been killed, mostly women and children, and nearly 77,000 injured since Oct. 7, according to Palestinian health authorities.
Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice. An interim ruling in January ordered Tel Aviv to stop genocidal acts and take measures to guarantee that humanitarian assistance is provided to civilians in Gaza.
Hostilities have continued unabated, however, and aid deliveries remain woefully insufficient to address the humanitarian catastrophe.
