Turkey’s Erdogan says West must pressure Israel to accept Gaza ceasefire

ANKARA, Turkey — Western countries must pressure Israel to accept the latest Gaza ceasefire proposal, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is cited as saying by broadcaster Haberturk and others, adding that he believes a definitive ceasefire is possible.

“After US President Joe Biden’s phone call to [Prime Minister] Benjamin Netanyahu, I hope a final ceasefire would be secured in a couple of days so that Israel’s recent massacres would come to an end,” Erdogan is quoted as telling reporters on his flight back from Kazakhstan.
