Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan posted the following social media after Hamas’ response to US President Donald Trump’s plan on the Gaza Strip:

“Hamas’ response to the plan for the implementation of a truce in Gaza is a constructive and important step towards achieving permanent peace.

“Israel must stop all its attacks immediately and respect the truce plan.

“All necessary measures must be taken without delay to ensure the distribution of humanitarian aid to Gaza and to achieve permanent peace. This genocide, this shameful image that has deeply hurt world consciousness, must now end.

“As Turkey, we will continue to make every effort to ensure that the negotiations will have the most favorable result for the Palestinian people and that the solution of the two states, backed by the international community, will be implemented.”
