ISTANBUL - Turkiye President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reaffirmed on Sunday that no power can force Gazans out of their "eternal” homeland, as Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem belong to Palestinians, Anadolu Agency (AA) reported.
"No power can force the people of Gaza out of their eternal and everlasting homeland that they have inhabited for thousands of years.
"Palestine, including Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem, belongs to the Palestinians," Erdogan told reporters in Istanbul before flying to Malaysia.
The United States (US) administration's proposals on Gaza, made under pressure from the Zionist regime, are not worth talking about, said Erdogan, referring to US President Donald Trump’s proposal to relocate Palestinians.
"These efforts are totally futile and serve no purpose,” he said.
Erdogan also hailed the Palestinian group Hamas for fulfilling its promises in ongoing prisoner exchanges with Israel, despite Israeli attempts to undermine the process. - BERNAMA-AA
