Turkish and Palestinian Presidents hold joint press conference

Turkish President Erdogan and Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas held a joint press conference addressing the ongoing crisis in the Middle East. Erdogan accused the Israeli government of exploiting regional chaos to sideline the Palestinian issue from the global agenda.

Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas emphasized the geopolitical significance of the newly formed “Mecca Agreement”—a joint defense pact between Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and Pakistan. Abbas described the trilateral agreement as a crucial starting point for establishing regional stability and defending the broader interests of the Islamic world.
