Turkey's Erdogan says West must pressure Israel on Gaza ceasefire, Haberturk reports

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

"After US President Joe Biden's phone call to 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 was quoted as telling reporters on his flight back from Kazakhstan.
