Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, during a joint press conference with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Ankara, accused the Israeli government of Benjamin Netanyahu of seeking to remove Palestine from the world's agenda by exploiting regional chaos and conflicts. Erdogan vowed Turkey would fight for the establishment of a Palestinian state. Abbas, who arrived in Ankara with a high-level delegation including Majdi Khalidi, Majed Faraj, and Ziad Abu Amr, described the talks as 'important and fruitful'. Abbas also announced plans for Palestinian legislative elections on November 28, followed by a presidential poll early next year, which would be the first such elections in two decades. Erdogan expressed hope the elections would advance reconciliation between Palestine — Fatah and Hamas. Abbas hailed the August 7 defense pact between Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan as 'of utmost importance' for regional security and stability.
