Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has told reporters that his Iranian counterpart Ebrahim Raisi would visit Turkey at the end of November to hold talks on Gaza, and that he would also attend a summit of Muslim countries in Riyadh later this month, Reuters reports.

Speaking to reporters on his return flight from Kazakhstan, Erdogan said there would no longer be any trust in the global system if Israel was not stopped and held accountable for what he described as “its war crimes and human rights violations”, broadcaster Haberturk and others reported.

He also said the Organisation for Islamic Cooperation (OIC) would push for a ceasefire and discuss the parameters of such a move during its summit in Riyadh later this month.
