«We cannot wait for the goodwill of Israel to implement the two-state solution,» Fidan stated.

He pointed to the Israeli parliament’s decision against establishing a Palestinian state as a clear sign of «pure greed that should not be condoned.»

Speaking at a ministerial meeting on Gaza, organized by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the Arab League Gaza Contact Group, the European Union, and Norway on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly in New York, Fidan emphasized the need for decisive action.

Fidan expressed concern over Israel’s ongoing military actions in Gaza, stating that cease-fire talks have been repeatedly undermined by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

«Israel expanded its aggression first to the West Bank and East Jerusalem and now to Lebanon,» he noted.

Recent Israeli strikes in Lebanon have resulted in at least 677 fatalities and over 2,500 injuries, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry. The conflict between Hezbollah and Israel has exacerbated tensions since the onset of Israel’s assault on Gaza, which has claimed more than 41,500 lives, primarily women and children, following an attack by Hamas on Oct. 7 of last year.
