Turkey has welcomed the ceasefire in Lebanon between Israel and the Hezbollah militia, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said in the capital Ankara on Wednesday.
Mr Erdoğan separately called for an end to the fighting in the Gaza Strip.
“All parties, especially Israel, must now comply with their obligations,” Mr Erdoğan said in a speech to his parliamentary group.
He said Turkey will continue to do everything it can to stop the killing in the Gaza Strip and ensure a lasting ceasefire.
A ceasefire brokered by the United States of America and France came into force at 4 am (0200 GMT) on Wednesday, November 27, 2024.
According to media reports, Israeli ground troops are scheduled to withdraw from Lebanon within 60 days – ahead of the inaguration of the Donald Trump’s administration in the US.
Hezbollah, in turn, is also expected to withdraw from the Litani River about 30 kilometers north of the border.
