Türkiye on Friday expressed its approval of a resolution passed by the UN General Assembly that enabled wider rights and privileges for Palestine to engage in UN activities and reconsideration of Palestine's membership bid, APA reports citing Anadolu Agency.
“We welcome the UN General Assembly resolution to expand Palestine's rights and privileges at the UN,” the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
“This resolution reaffirms the strong support of the overwhelming majority of the international community for the right of the Palestinian people to a state of their own and for the two-state solution,” said the ministry.
The ministry urged the global community to take tangible actions to halt Israeli atrocities in Gaza and to recognize the state of Palestine.
