Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan says there is a need to maintain momentum in the Gaza peace plan process, urging increased pressure on Israel to prevent ongoing violations, Al Jazeera reports.

“The efforts that the parties will make on this issue are important. In particular, putting pressure on Israel’s reluctance and preventing its violations are extremely important for moving to the second phase in Gaza,” Fidan has said at a joint news conference with Austrian Foreign Minister Beate Meinl-Reisinger.

“Frankly, we are warning both the international community, the mediators, and all actors on the Board of Peace to take the necessary measures,” he adds.

According to Fidan, the situation risks generating further instability, energy security challenges, and irregular migration flows.

The minister also says that one million people have been displaced in Lebanon due to Israeli occupation, warning that further expansion could trigger additional migration.

For this reason, he adds, “Israel must be placed under more qualified international pressure on this issue.”
