The US is now left alone on the Gaza issue after it blocked the passage of a UN Security Council resolution demanding a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, Anadolu Agency reports Türkiye’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan as saying.

“Our friends once again expressed that America is now alone on this issue, especially in the voting held at the United Nations today,” Fidan told Anadolu in an exclusive interview.

Turning to the US veto of the UN Security Council resolution on Gaza, Fidan said: “As we expressed in our meetings today, the American political system is now helpless on issues related to Israel. Therefore, Israel acts recklessly on this issue and continues its oppression.”
