President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has said during his visit to Ankara that Egypt and Turkey reiterate their calls for "an immediate ceasefire" in Gaza.
Speaking alongside his Egyptian counterpart, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, el-Sisi said that the situation in Gaza is an "unprecedented catastrophe," adding that both Turkey and Egypt reject "further escalation by Israel in the occupied West Bank."
He said that both countries were "taking tangible measures to live up to the aspiration of the Palestinian people for the establishment of an independent state based on 1967 borders with [occupied] East Jerusalem as its capital."
