Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said he will seek the support of Gulf states, the US and Europe for the reconstruction of Gaza under the new ceasefire deal, and he believed project financing will be provided swiftly, Reuters reports.

Speaking to reporters on a return flight from Sharm el-Sheikh, Erdogan said Western countries’ decisions to recognise the Palestinian state should be seen as building blocks of a two-state solution, according to a transcript shared by his office.
