Speaking at a conference on “The Future of Palestine” in Ankara, the minister stated: “Words, diplomacy, and international policies are no longer effective.”

“Let us close ranks to defend international law, human rights and universal values that some of our Western friends have forgotten,” said Fidan. He called for using all available means to put pressure on Israel and its allies. “[Moreover] the inhumane conditions and treatment faced by Palestinian prisoners cannot be ignored.”
