President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Wednesday that Turkiye was ready to help in any way possible to establish a lasting ceasefire in Gaza and expressed satisfaction with the ceasefire agreement that has come into effect in Lebanon.

Axar.az reports that, citing Reuters, Turkiye, which has fiercely criticized Israel’s offensives in Gaza and Lebanon, has previously said it discussed a potential truce in Gaza with the Palestinian group Hamas and gave the group recommendations on how to proceed with the negotiations.

On Tuesday, US President Joe Biden said the United States would again push for an elusive ceasefire in the Palestinian enclave of Gaza “with Turkiye, Egypt, Qatar, Israel and others.”

“We are stating that, as Turkiye, we are ready to provide any contribution for the massacre in Gaza to end and for a lasting ceasefire to be achieved,” Erdogan told members of his ruling AK Party in parliament.
