He also stressed the need to intensify efforts to stop the ongoing Israeli attacks and violations against Palestinians.

The Turkish presidency said in a statement that the call discussed “the crimes of genocide committed by Israel in the Palestinian territories, as well as regional and international issues.”

It noted that Erdogan stressed “the importance of the international community increasing its pressure on Israel regarding the crimes against humanity it is committing in the Palestinian territories, especially in Gaza.”
