Erdogan: Biden facing 'test of sincerity' over Gaza

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday that Israel's war on Gaza is a "test of sincerity" for US President Joe Biden.

Erdogan told reporters on his way back from the G7 summit in Italy that Biden needs to demonstrate that his ceasefire plan is not a calculated electoral tactic but a sincere effort to end the war.

When asked during the summit if he was confident that the ceasefire deal would be struck soon, Biden said no.

"I haven’t lost hope, but it's going to be tough. Hamas has ... to move," he told reporters.
