Erdogan and Putin Address Humanitarian Crisis in Gaza

Turkish President Erdogan expressed his concerns to Russian President Putin about the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza, blaming Western countries' "silence" for exacerbating the crisis. Erdogan emphasized the ongoing violence and civilian casualties in the region, while reiterating Turkey's commitment to achieving calm. Western countries have supported Israel's right to self-defense following an attack by Hamas militants, which resulted in heavy Israeli bombardment of Gaza. The Kremlin stated that Russia and Turkey largely agree on the Israel-Palestinian issue, focusing on the two-state solution for peace and security.
