ANKARA, February 14. /TASS/. A new round of aggression by Israel supported by the US would lead to even greater casualties among the Israelis, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told reporters from his pool upon returning from Asia.
“We can clearly see that Hamas is honoring its promises under the ceasefire agreement. As usual, it is the Israeli administration that is the party whose word cannot be trusted. It is evident that the Israeli administration is not seeking to make the ceasefire permanent. Meanwhile, the implementation of a new, even larger strategy of carrying out a massacre in Gaza with US support will result in Israel suffering even greater losses,” the Anadolu news agency quoted the Turkish leader as saying.
He added that the “footage of prisoner exchange from the Gaza Strip, which has been under a brutal blockade and bombing for 15 months, illustrates that Hamas is psychologically strong.”
