Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has praised Indonesia’s stance on the Palestinian issue at a joint news conference with his counterpart, Prabowo Subianto, as he expressed his country’s intent to “continue to work with Indonesia in the reconstruction of Gaza”, reports Al Jazeera.
He also renewed his call for the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Erdogan also asserted that other countries in the region will not be able to achieve stability until Gaza and Palestinians find peace.
“The total damage caused by Israel’s 15-month-long attacks is nearly $100bn. According to legal principles, this damage should be collected from the perpetrator,” he said, referring to Israel.
