We wish success to the new cabinet headed by Prime Minister Hamdallah that took office in Palestine.

We are pleased with this development paving the way for a unity government in Palestine and support in strongest terms the goal of establishing a unity government embracing the Palestinian people as a whole within the timeframe determined in Cairo on 14 May 2013. We therefore find appropriate Prime Minister Hamdallah’s call to put an end to the sad division between our Palestinian brothers and to establish a unity government in the shortest possible time.

We strongly believe that the achievement of Palestinian reconciliation and unity has importance and priority in order for a fair, comprehensive and viable solution to save Palestine from the yoke of occupation.

Turkey will continue to support the negotiations and efforts to this end, as it has done to date.
