John Kirby acknowledged America's opposition to the establishment of a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip
The United States reiterated its opposition to a permanent ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, which would end fighting in the Gaza Strip, but said it supported a humanitarian pause in the region.
According to Anadolu News Agency, US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said: “We do not support a permanent ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, but we agree with the idea of a humanitarian pause in the strip.” Numan Kurtulmus Numan Kurtulmuş, Speaker of Turkey's National Assembly, reacted to America's opposition to the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and said: "It is a pity that the message 'we oppose a permanent ceasefire' came from the United States, after which Israel resumed its attacks." At the opening ceremony of the 2023-2024 academic year at Istanbul Yeni Yüzıl University on Friday, Kurtulmuş stressed that the Israel-Palestine issue should not be seen as an issue arising from Hamas' attack on the regime. He added: “So far, conditions such as the establishment of a Palestinian state with its capital at Quds (Jerusalem) on the 1967 borders, the expulsion of Jewish invaders from homes and villages and return to their original owners, and the protection of holy sites, especially the Al-Aqsa Mosque, have not will be fulfilled, peace will not reign in Western Asia." The Speaker of the Turkish National Assembly also said: "We will be the representatives of the oppressed people of Palestine, and we will follow their political demands in this sense, and we will try to bring peace and prosperity to West Asia and establish world peace." After the ceasefire was not extended, the Zionist regime resumed massive attacks on the Gaza Strip on Friday morning.
