Turkey pledges $10 million in aid for Palestine

Sunday 4-February-2018

Turkey has pledged 10 million dollars to the Palestinian government to support important projects in the Gaza Strip and the occupied territories.

This came in an agreement signed on Saturday between Palestinian minister of foreign affairs Riyad Maliki and his Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu in the city of Antalya.

Under the agreement Turkey will initially channel 3.5 million dollars to the Palestinian government to fund the most urgent projects in Palestine especially in Gaza.

During a meeting the two sides also explored the mechanisms for the implementation of the resolutions issued by the emergency summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation last December 2017 to confront the US recognition of Occupied Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
