Turkey is ready to contribute in "any possible way" towards a ceasefire in Gaza, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told the Turkish parliament on Wednesday.
" To stop the massacre in Gaza and establish a permanent ceasefire, we as Turkey are ready to contribute in every possible way ," Erdogan said.
Qatar, a key mediator in the indirect hostage talks between Hamas and Israel, suspended its role after concluding that the two sides were no longer negotiating in good faith, and Hamas' office in Doha was subsequently closed.
Last week, Turkey denied reports that Hamas had moved its political bureau to Turkey. The US had warned Ankara not to host Hamas leaders, saying there could be "no more business as usual" with the Palestinian militant group.
Erdogan was speaking in parliament hours after a ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel took effect.
" We are pleased with the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon that came into effect this morning. We expect all parties, especially Israel, to fulfill their responsibilities, to the letter, to maintain calm on the ground ," he added.
