Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev attended the 10th Summit of the Council of Heads of State of the Organization of Turkic States, held in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan. Emphasizing that ethnic and cultural roots, language, and common past form the basis of the relations between the Turkish states, Aliyev said that strengthening relations with the Turkish states is one of the main priorities of Azerbaijan’s foreign policy. Reminding that it is a wartime environment where international law is largely violated, Aliyev expressed his belief that cooperation between member countries in areas such as security, defense, and defense industry should increase.

Later in his speech, Aliyev thanked the authorities of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan for contributing to the renovations in the regions that were liberated from occupation after the end of the Second Karabakh War and where 140,000 people are expected to return by the end of 2026.

Speaking at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, King Abdullah II of Jordan warned that Israel’s expansion of its offensive to include Iran threatens global security, stating, “It is impossible to say where the borders of this battlefield will end. This is a threat to people all over the world.”

He strongly criticized Israel’s actions in Gaza, saying, “Today, the world is in a state of moral collapse. What was once seen as an atrocity—like the bombing of a hospital—has become commonplace. Since then, the WHO has documented nearly 700 attacks on Gaza’s healthcare facilities.”

“The targeting of civilians, health workers, and journalists has become routine. Famine is being used as a weapon against children,” he added.

King Abdullah called on the international community to act not only in Ukraine but also in Palestine: “The world’s longest and most destructive conflict must end. Palestinians deserve freedom, sovereignty, and statehood, like all people.”

He warned that without decisive action, Israeli bulldozers “will also flatten the borders that define moral conduct.” Reaffirming Jordan’s commitment to peace, he said the only solution lies in a just peace based on international law and mutual recognition.
