Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan — a bitter Israel critic who got along well with Donald Trump — congratulates the former US president on his electoral win.
“I hope that Turkey-US relations will strengthen, that regional and global crises and wars, especially the Palestinian issue and the Russia-Ukraine war, will come to an end,” he writes on X. “I believe that more efforts will be made for a more just world.”
