“We need to focus on the two-state solution…The exclusion of Hamas or destruction of Hamas is not a realistic scenario,” Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said during the interview with NTV, adding that he will not define Hamas as a terrorist organisation, Reuters reports.

Erdogan also said a contact group formed by the OIC and Arab League would visit the United States to discuss possible resolution of conflict in Gaza after meeting with authorities in London, Paris, Barcelona and the United Nations.
