Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said he held a phone call with Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh on Monday to discuss efforts to end the fighting in Gaza, as well as the militant group's decision to accept a ceasefire in the enclave.

"During the call, in which I stated that I found it positive for Hamas to take such a decision with Turkey's suggestion, we emphasised that Israel must take a step for a lasting ceasefire too," Erdogan said on social media platform X.
