Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa has thanked Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for supporting the Palestinian cause during Israel’s military operations, Al Jazeera reports.

Mustafa expressed appreciation for Turkiye’s efforts to end attacks on Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

During their meeting, the prime minister emphasised the need for increased international pressure to stop Israel from creating famine in Gaza because of its total blockade of desperately needed humanitarian aid.

Mustafa also briefed Erdogan on the deteriorating situation in the occupied West Bank during weeks-long Israeli military raids and settler attacks.

Erdogan reiterated Turkiye’s unwavering support for Palestine and readiness to contribute to Gaza’s reconstruction once Israel’s campaign ends.
