International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People
Introduction:
The 29th of November has been a significant event on the calendar of the entire globe ever since it was designated as the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People in 1978.
It is a demonstration of our collective determination to fight for the rights and needs of the Palestinian people that today, which began with a call from the United Nations General Assembly, represents this determination.
Through its diplomatic efforts, financial backing, and humanitarian assistance, Turkey has made it abundantly apparent that it is totally committed to the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.
Turkey continues to be a significant role in the effort to achieve a peaceful and independent Palestine.
