Israeli forces continue to intervene in the demonstrations against the Palestinians being forced to evacuate from their homes in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of Jerusalem. On Tuesday, 55-year-old activist Muhammad Abu al-Hummus in Sheikh Jarrah to support Palestinian families was brutally assaulted and battered by Israeli Forces despite having crutches. In addition to that, the office that al-Hummus had established “symbolically” in front of the office of Israeli far-right Israeli Knesset member Itamar Ben Gvir was demolished by Israeli Forces.
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said the recent peace talks in Istanbul have brought a new dimension to diplomatic efforts on Ukraine and proposed a leaders’ summit hosted by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. “A summit with leaders from Russia, Ukraine, and the US could help achieve a long-term ceasefire,” he said.
Speaking at a joint press conference in Kyiv with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, Fidan emphasized Türkiye’s ongoing diplomatic efforts, stating that President Erdoğan has been working actively since the war began. He added that talks in Istanbul on May 16 led to concrete results, including a prisoner swap.
Fidan shared insights from his prior visit to Moscow and said Russia is open to further talks on June 2. He stressed the importance of continuing momentum and involving international actors to build common ground for peace.
Fidan is also scheduled to meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Andriy Yermak, Rustem Umerov, and representatives of the Crimean Tatar and Gagauz Turkish communities.
