Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said that the US is making a “miscalculation” in the Middle East, rejecting the “unacceptable” plan for Gaza recently proposed by President Donald Trump, Al Jazeera reports.
“Unfortunately, the US is making a miscalculation regarding our region. One should not be in an approach that disregards the history, values and heritage of this geography,” Erdogan told journalists on a flight from Pakistan to Turkiye.
He strongly condemned any forced displacement of Palestinians — a reference to Trump’s proposal for the future of Gaza.
“It is absolutely unacceptable to approve this forced displacement. This would be a pure atrocity,” said the president.
