The Turkish president welcomed Hamas’ positive reaction to the peace agreement proposed by the US president, seeing in this indication that the Islamist Palestinian organization is “ready for peace”.
“Hamas has shown, as she has done many times before, that she is ready for peace. An opportunity window opened for a constant peace in our region, “Erdogan said during a ceremony in Istanbul.
The same ceremony referred to the phone conversation he had yesterday, Friday, with the US president, referring to the Gaza issue.
“It is of the utmost importance for Israel to stop his attacks immediately. The new hopes for peace should not be allowed to erase. If all parties act responsibly, it is possible to stop bloodshed and reach peace, “he also said in relation to his conversation.
He added that “Turkey will continue to do whatever is necessary so that no other innocent lives are lost and Gaza children can smile again.”
