Türkiye’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Egypt’s President Abdel-Fatah el-Sisi, who both were reportedly to be heavily involved in convincing Hamas to accept the ceasefire deal, expressed their optimistic outlook on the development.
El-Sisi posted: “This agreement does not only close the chapter of war; it also opens the door of hope for the peoples of the region for a future defined by justice and stability.” Erdogan thanked U.S. President Donald Trump in an online statement for “demonstrating the necessary political will” and thanked Qatar and Egypt for mediating the deal. On Turkish social media platform NSosyal, Erdogan went further:
“On this occasion, I extend my most heartfelt greetings to my Palestinian brothers and sisters, who have endured indescribable suffering for two years, struggling for life and dignity under inhumane conditions, losing their children, mothers, fathers, relatives, and friends, and who, despite all the tragedies they have endured, have not compromised their honorable stance.
