Ankara (Reuters) – Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan says that US President Donald Trump’s administration is “false calculations” about the Middle East, and keeping a close eye on “Zionist lies” will only exacerbate the conflict. He added.
Turkey rejected Trump’s plan to eliminate more than 2 million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, rule it over us, and turn it into the “Middle Eastern Riviera.” He also said Israel’s attack on Gaza is equivalent to genocide and calls for international measures against the government.
“Unfortunately, the US is making the wrong calculations about our region. He said, according to a transcript of comments to journalists about flights back from Malaysia, Indonesia and Pakistan.

Erdogan said he hopes Trump will fulfill his campaign promise to take measures for peace rather than triggering a new conflict.
He says he saw no real signs of a ceasefire in Gaza despite the ceasefire between Israeli and Palestinian extremist group Hamas, and the Muslim world has yet to take a collective step on the issue. He added.
