Istanbul: Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Saturday that he discussed the “gravity” of the situation in Gaza with his Egyptian counterpart Sameh Shoukry, along with efforts to step up humanitarian aid to the enclave.

"We especially emphasized the gravity of the situation at this point we have reached in Gaza and what needs to be done,” Fidan said in a joint news conference with Shoukry after a meeting in Istanbul.

“We discussed in detail with him what diplomatic steps can be taken, what can be done about humanitarian aid, what methods can be used for a two-state solution in the long term."

Commenting on tensions between Israel and Iran, Shoukry said they are concerned about the ongoing escalation in the region and have called on both parties to exercise restraint.

“Further military conflict threatens countries around the world,” he said.

“It threatens Egypt, it threatens Turkey, and our talks with the minister revolved around these developments in particular and the importance of joint efforts to contain the negative impacts.”
