Erdogan put forward a condition for an agreement between Turkey and the United States on Gaza.

An agreement between Turkey and the United States on Gaza is impossible if Washington considers it to be Israeli territory,  the country’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.

“The most important country that must be activated is America, which has influence on Israel… Gaza is the land of the Palestinian people. America must recognize this. If Biden (US President Joe) has an approach that Gaza is not the land of the Palestinian people, but the land of occupying settlers or Israel, then our agreement is impossible,” the Turkish leader told reporters upon returning from Riyadh, where the summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) was held.
