Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan urges more pressure on Israel to end the war in Gaza at a joint news conference with Saudi Arabia Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud.

Israel’s strikes on senior Hamas officials in Gaza yesterday show that the country has no intention of ending the conflict, he adds.

“Hamas accepting conditions of the ceasefire terms is seen by Israel as weakness and surrender, which is highly dangerous,” Fidan says.
