WASHINGTON (AA) - Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday told his US counterpart that it is America's "historical responsibility" to ensure a permanent cease-fire in Gaza as soon as possible.
Erdogan and Joe Biden held a phone call to discuss Israel's attacks on Palestinian territories, especially Gaza, bilateral relations, as well as Sweden's NATO bid, Türkiye's Communications Directorate said.
Erdogan told Biden that the human tragedy in Gaza should be stopped, and warned that deepening and prolongation of Israel's attacks could have "negative regional and global consequences."
He underlined the need for the establishment of a guarantor mechanism, as suggested by Türkiye, to resolve the Israel-Palestine conflict.
