Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday that a "window of opportunity" has opened for lasting peace in the region following Palestinian group Hamas' response to US President Donald Trump's Gaza ceasefire plan, APA reports.
Hamas has shown, as it has many times before, its readiness for peace, Erdogan said in his address at a mass inauguration and groundbreaking ceremony in Istanbul, adding that the immediate cessation of Israeli attacks is crucial, and the emerging hopes for peace must not be allowed to fade.
On the ceasefire plan, he said it is quite possible to establish peace if all parties act with a sense of responsibility.
Stressing that the most important agenda item in his phone call with Trump was Gaza, Erdogan added that Ankara welcomes Hamas' response to the US president's ceasefire plan.
Türkiye has mobilized all its resources in every field, from humanitarian aid to diplomatic contacts, stated Erdogan.
Türkiye is bringing "passengers of hope of the Global Sumud Flotilla to our country," he further stated.
