President Erdoğan emphasized the urgent need for the rapid reconstruction of Gaza and the healing of war damages. He indicated that Turkey is playing an active role in establishing permanent peace between Hamas and Israel.

Speaking at an event in Istanbul, Erdoğan said, “Our goal is not just a temporary ceasefire but to pave the way for long-term peace.” He noted that his government is working continuously to make the agreement permanent and ensure lasting peace for Gaza.

Erdoğan added, “We remain cautious and restrained due to Israel’s past actions, but our efforts to establish peace continue.”

Last week, Turkey, Qatar, and Egypt acted as mediators for the ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel. Erdoğan expressed hope that this agreement would serve as a foundation for lasting peace rather than a temporary truce.

Highlighting the urgency of reconstruction and humanitarian assistance for Gaza’s people, he appealed to the international community to work together toward lasting peace and rehabilitation.
