"We discussed the situation in Gaza in detail. I specifically called on the US to intervene in Gaza to resolve the crisis. Crimes against humanity are being committed there. On our part, I informed that we are doing everything possible to end the conflict," Erdogan told reporters.
At the same time, he emphasized that one should not expect "goodwill" from Israel. "It is moving toward isolation [in the international community], and it will become increasingly evident," the Turkish president emphasized.
Erdogan noted in this regard that the situation at the UN, where initially 121 countries supported the Gaza resolution and 40 abstained, has begun to change. "Now only 10 countries remain on Israel's side," he said, recalling the UN vote on the latest Gaza ceasefire resolution.
In his conversation with Biden, Erdogan, as previously reported by his administration, emphasized that the humanitarian tragedy in the Gaza Strip must end as soon as possible, and the USA's withdrawal of unconditional support for Israel could ensure a quick ceasefire. He referred to it as a "historic US responsibility." The Turkish president also warned that continued Israeli attacks in Gaza could have negative regional and global repercussions. In his view, the "most stable and reasonable solution" to the Palestinian problem is the establishment of an independent, sovereign State of Palestine on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
