Istanbul: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has confirmed reports from Turkish media indicating that Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh is scheduled to visit Turkey on Saturday. Erdogan stated, "What we will speak will be between us for now. And we will take our steps accordingly."

Regarding the recent escalation, Erdogan expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of international leadership.

"Israel says different things, Iran of course has different opinions. Nobody claimed the [attack]. And there is no reasonable statement so far. You can not say ‘What Iran says is right.' You can not say ‘What Israel says is right’ either. When you look at USA, they say ‘We were aware, we were not aware,'" Erdogan commented while addressing reporters in Istanbul.

Additionally, Erdogan remarked that he was not surprised by the United States vetoing the United Nations Security Council resolution that would have facilitated full UN recognition of a Palestinian state on Thursday.

“At the UNSC while the world supported Palestine, America is backing Israel again. We were not expecting anything different but this gave us an opportunity to see that,” he added.
