Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said Turkiye will continue working for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the entrance of humanitarian aid into the besieged territory, Al Jazeera reports.

“The efforts of the Israeli administration to hide its atrocities and massacres committed in Gaza should not be allowed,” the Turkish president said during a joint conference with his German counterpart, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who is on an official visit to Ankara.

He added that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is putting the security of not only his own citizens but the entire region at risk just to prolong his political career.
