Türkiye to invite Palestinian president to address Parliament


Türkiye will invite Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to address its Parliament in Ankara, Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmuş announced Wednesday.

“If there are no setbacks in the coming days, we will invite Mr. Abbas to the General Assembly of the Turkish Grand National Assembly, where he will present the Palestinian cause before members of Parliament,” Kurtulmuş said.

The visit comes in the backdrop of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh’s assassination earlier in the day in an airstrike in Tehran, heightening the risk of regional conflagration.

In Gaza, Israel has killed more than 39,000 Palestinians since a cross-border attack by Hamas on Oct. 7.

Earlier this month, the International Court of Justice (ICJ), in an advisory opinion, said Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories is unlawful and should end.
