Israel remains main obstacle to peace in Gaza, says Turkish president

Turkiye’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called on Israel to make a greater effort to find peace as talks in Egypt continue for a third day, Al Jazeera reports.

Speaking at a gathering of his governing AK Party, Erdogan said: “Peace is not a bird with a single wing. Putting the entire burden of peace on Hamas and Palestinians is not a fair, correct or realistic approach.”

Erdogan said Israel remains the main obstacle to peace and also called on it to stop attacks on Gaza.
