US President Donald Trump on Monday credited President Recep Tayyip Erdogan with helping advance Gaza peace negotiations, calling him "fantastic" and saying he has been "pushing very hard for this deal" as indirect talks between Hamas and Israel commenced in Egypt, APA reports citing Türkiye Today.
"President Erdogan is fantastic, he has been pushing very hard for this deal," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. "He is a very powerful guy, Hamas has a lot of respect for him."
The president expressed confidence that a Gaza peace agreement was within reach, saying he was "pretty sure" a deal would emerge from the current round of negotiations under his administration's 20-point plan.
"I think we're going to have a deal. It's a hard thing for me to say that when for years and years they've been trying to have a deal," Trump said. "We're going to have a Gaza deal, I'm pretty sure, yeah."
