Trump, Erdogan discuss Syria and Gaza in call

WASHINGTON/ ANKARA: Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan discussed ​developments in Syria and Gaza with US counterpart Donald Trump in a telephone call on Tuesday as Syria’s Turkiye-backed government announced a ceasefire with US-allied Kurdish forces after days of clashes. Turkiye separately weighed if Erdogan should join the US leader’s “Board of Peace” initiative. “President Erdogan stated that Turkiye was closely following developments in Syria, that Syria’s unity, harmony and territorial integrity were important for Turkiye,” the Turkish presidency said in a statement.
