Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has called on members of the United Nations Security Council, particularly the United States, to pressure Israel into a ceasefire in Gaza after the council backed a US proposal earlier this week, Reuters reports.

Speaking in Madrid alongside Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, Erdogan said Ankara welcomed any ceasefire proposals that would end the Gaza conflict, adding Washington’s stance on Israel’s operations there was “truly upsetting” Turkiye.
