Turkey will make efforts to rebuild damaged infrastructure, hospitals and schools in Gaza if a ceasefire is achieved there, Turkish media on Saturday reported President Tayyip Erdogan as saying, Reuters reports.
"If a ceasefire is reached, we will do whatever is necessary to compensate for the destruction caused by Israel," Erdogan told reporters on his plane returning from a trip to Berlin, where he held talks with German leaders.
Earlier this week Erdogan called on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to announce whether Israel had nuclear weapons and he returned to the issue in his comments to reporters, calling for nuclear weapons inspections there.
Erdogan also said the families of Israelis held hostage by the militant group Hamas had sent him a letter requesting that he intervened to secure their release, and he said Turkey's intelligence agency had been activated to look into the issue.
