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

“After US President Joe Biden’s phone call to [Israeli Prime Minister] 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.
