Erdogan: Israel massacred over 200 Palestinians since ceasefire agreement

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday said Israel has "massacred over 200 innocent people" since the agreement and "continues its occupation and attacks on the West Bank", Anadolu news agency reported. 

“We all see that Israel’s record on this matter is very poor,” Erdogan said, adding that "Hamas appears more determined to comply with the ceasefire". 

“We are facing an administration that has massacred over 200 innocent people since the ceasefire agreement and continues its occupation and attacks on the West Bank,” he said.

“We cannot allow the annexation of the West Bank, the changing of Jerusalem’s status or attempts to damage the sanctity of the Al-Aqsa Mosque,” he said. 

Foreign ministers from eight nations are meeting in Istanbul on Monday to discuss the implementation of the Gaza "peace plan". The meeting brings together top diplomats from Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Pakistan and Indonesia.

Talks are expected to centre on the October 10 ceasefire and the second phase of Trump’s proposed 20-point peace plan.

Israel committed 194 violations of the ceasefire agreement that came into effect on 10 October, the director of the government media office in Gaza said.
