I intend to start a joint global initiative on Gaza with leaders, presidents and prime ministers,” Erdogan said while speaking to a committee of the ruling Justice and Development Party on November 7, as reported by the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet.
According to the publication, this initiative by Erdogan will begin after the extraordinary Summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation scheduled for the coming weekend of November 11 and 12 in Saudi Arabia.
