In this regard, Erdogan added: “There is no justification for killing children and infants… We stand by the Palestinian people and the brothers in Gaza.”
He added, “We are working to make our relations with Saudi Arabia and the UAE stronger than before, and we are using our relations with Israel, which has returned to its rightful track, to defend the rights of our Palestinian brothers as well as the interests of our country.”

On Sunday evening, Egypt reached a ceasefire agreement between the Islamic Jihad movement in the Gaza Strip and Israel, ending three days of military confrontation.
The Israeli army launched raids on the Gaza Strip as part of a military operation it started on Friday evening against targets it said were affiliated with the Islamic Jihad movement.
According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, these raids resulted in the “martyrdom” of 44 Palestinians, including 15 children and 4 women, and injuring 360 others.
