The meeting was held on the sidelines of the 16th summit of the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) in Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan.
During the meeting, the Turkish president stressed the need for the Islamic world to adopt a united position regarding the Israeli regime’s crimes and increase pressure against the occupying entity.
He added that Turkey is ready to act as a guarantor regarding the Gaza issue.
Earlier on Thursday, Raeisi met and held talks with his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aliyev on the sidelines of the ECO summit.
Tel Aviv waged the war on Gaza on October 7 after the Palestinian Resistance movement Hamas carried out a surprise attack, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, into the occupied territories in response to the occupying regime’s intensified crimes against the Palestinian people.
Tel Aviv has also blocked water, food, and electricity to Gaza, plunging the coastal strip into a humanitarian crisis.
According to the Gaza-based health ministry, at least 10,569 Palestinians have been killed in the strikes, most of them women and children, while nearly 26,475 others have been injured.
