The government of Türkiye has officially expressed deep appreciation for the recently announced ceasefire between Iran and Israel, describing the development as a vital step toward de-escalating tensions in the Middle East. In a statement issued through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ankara called on all parties involved in the conflict to fully respect the terms of the truce and refrain from any actions that could undermine the fragile peace.
Türkiye reiterated its longstanding position that lasting regional stability can only be achieved through dialogue, diplomacy, and adherence to international law. The statement emphasised that any violation of the ceasefire could plunge the region back into a cycle of violence with far-reaching consequences.
“Ankara profoundly welcomes the ceasefire agreement between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the State of Israel,” the statement read. “We urge all stakeholders to exercise maximum restraint, comply strictly with the agreed terms, and support constructive efforts toward a sustainable resolution.”
Türkiye also reaffirmed its commitment to supporting diplomatic initiatives and multilateral engagements aimed at fostering peace, stability, and mutual respect among nations in the region. The government noted that it would continue to work closely with international partners to promote dialogue and prevent a relapse into hostilities.
The call from Ankara comes amid cautious optimism from the international community, with world leaders and humanitarian organisations closely monitoring the situation to ensure that the ceasefire holds. As a key regional actor, Türkiye’s position is expected to play a strategic role in reinforcing diplomatic pressure and facilitating ongoing peace efforts.
