Kerry speaks to Qatari, Turkish FMs
US Secretary of State John Kerry speaks to his counterparts in Qatar and Turkey, which support the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, as he pressed for a Gaza ceasefire.
Kerry — who is in Egypt, which has drafted a truce proposal for the Israel-Hamas conflict — speaks by phone with the foreign ministers of Qatar and Turkey, a US official says.
The top US diplomat was hoping Qatar and Turkey would use their influence to encourage Hamas to accept a ceasefire plan, which the Islamist group has so far rejected, the official says.
