In the USA, the “Jewish Voice for Peace” group organized a sit-in protest in front of the Statue of Liberty in New York City to support Palestine. This took place amid a significant death toll in Israel’s attacks on Palestine, with calls for a ceasefire from various Jewish groups worldwide. Approximately 500 people gathered on Liberty Island, displaying banners advocating for peace and freedom for Palestinians. Additionally, the Jewish Voice for Peace organized another demonstration in New York, and there were supportive marches in various cities, including Washington, D.C., and Seattle.
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.
