Türkiye and the European Union will continue to work for the stabilization and transition in Syria, a senior EU official has said, adding Brussels is designating financial programs to facilitate the safe and dignified return of Syrians.

Türkiye voiced concern on Friday after a foreign-flagged vessel operated by a Turkish company was damaged in an attack on Ukraine’s Chornomorsk Port, stating the incident reaffirms prior warnings about the war's spillover into the Black Sea.

The expansion of Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank is at its highest level since at least 2017, when the United Nations began tracking such data, according to a report by the U.N. chief seen by AFP on Friday.

Trade Minister Ömer Bolat announced on Friday that Türkiye and the U.S. have advanced efforts to expand bilateral trade following productive discussions in Washington.
