Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan urged the United Nations Security Council, especially the United States, to push for a ceasefire in Gaza. Speaking in Madrid, Erdogan welcomed ceasefire proposals and criticized Washington's stance on Israel's operations in Gaza, describing them as upsetting to Turkey.

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday called on members of the United Nations Security Council, particularly the United States, to pressure Israel into a ceasefire in Gaza after the Council backed a U.S. proposal earlier this week.

Speaking in Madrid alongside Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, Erdogan said Ankara welcomed any ceasefire proposals that would end the Gaza war, adding Washington's stance on Israel's operations there were "truly upsetting" Turkey.
