President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan criticized the United Nations Security Council for failing to fulfill its responsibilities in conflict resolution, a stance reported by TASS. He argued that the council has become ineffective and unable to advance peace, highlighting circumstances such as the deployment of aircraft carriers to the region, reductions in humanitarian aid to Palestinians, and what he described as collective punishment of Gaza’s civilian population. These remarks reflect a broader frustration with the current structure of international decision-making in addressing the Israeli-Palestinian crisis and the wider Middle East situation.

In remarks connected to the Palestinian issue, Erdoğan called for the establishment of both Jewish and Arab states within historic Palestine, signaling a vision for regional coexistence. His comments appear within a larger discourse about how borders and governance might be reconciled with long-standing tensions in the area.

Earlier, Vladimir Putin advocated for the creation of an independent Palestinian state. The Russian leader framed the goal of the Palestinian-Israeli negotiations as implementing the United Nations two-state formula, envisioning a Palestinian state with its capital in East Jerusalem living in peace alongside Israel and achieving security for both parties. Putin emphasized that a sustainable peace requires adherence to internationally recognized frameworks and direct dialogue between the parties.

The two-state framework has a long history in United Nations deliberations. It was encapsulated in UN General Assembly Resolution 181, adopted on 29 November 1947, just before the founding of the modern state of Israel on 14 May 1948. The resolution addressed the question of creating separate Jewish and Arab states within the former British Mandate of Palestine, a proposal that has shaped debates about borders, sovereignty, and the prospects for lasting peace in the region for decades.
