ISTANBUL, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) -- Türkiye's First Lady Emine Erdogan hosted on Wednesday a meeting named "One Heart for Palestine" in Istanbul with the spouses of several world leaders.

Spouses and special representatives of state leaders from 15 countries, including Qatar, Malaysia and Uzbekistan attended the event aimed at pushing for an end to the suffering of civilians in the Gaza Strip and finding a resolution to the crisis, according to the Turkish presidency.

In her speech at the meeting held in Dolmabahce Palace, Emine voiced her concern about the "silence in the face of the innocence in Gaza."

"Although a ceasefire is our primary goal, it is not the final goal. Let us call on the whole world with the same voice to unite our efforts to achieve lasting peace in Palestine and Israel," she said. Enditem
