Turkey urges world pressure on Israel to pay for war damage in Lebanon

Turkey welcomes Israel and Iran-backed group Hezbollah reaching a ceasefire in Lebanon and hopes the truce will be lasting, its foreign ministry says, calling on the international community to pressure Israel into paying for military strikes on the terror group.

“It is imperative for the international community to exert pressure on Israel to fully comply with the ceasefire and to provide reparations for the damages it has caused in Lebanon,” the ministry says in a statement.

It adds that Ankara is ready to support peace efforts in Lebanon and says a ceasefire must also be declared in Gaza as soon as possible.
