All aspects of bilateral relations, as well as regional, global issues to be discussed during David Cameron’s visit to Türkiye, says Turkish Foreign Ministry
UK’s Foreign Secretary David Cameron will visit Türkiye for talks on Jan. 25-26, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.
“During the visit, all aspects of bilateral relations, as well as current regional and international issues will be discussed,” a ministry statement said.
Cameron arrived in Israel Tuesday on a regional tour of the occupied Palestinian territories, Qatar, and Türkiye to hold talks with leaders on an urgent humanitarian pause and secure a deal to release the Israeli hostages held in Gaza.
He held crucial talks on Wednesday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem.
According to a UK government statement, Cameron “explained that he wants to see an immediate humanitarian pause to get hostages out and aid in, leading to a sustainable cease-fire without a return to hostilities.”
Cameron met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas late Wednesday to discuss the developments in the West Bank and Gaza.
Israel has launched a deadly offensive on the Gaza Strip since an Oct. 7 Hamas attack, killing at least 25,700 Palestinians and injuring 63,740 others. Nearly 1,200 Israelis are believed to have been killed in the Hamas attack.
The Israeli war has left 85% of Gaza’s population internally displaced amid acute shortages of food, clean water and medicine, while more than half of the enclave’s infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, according to the UN.
