Turkey's Erdogan discusses Israeli-Palestinian conflict with UAE leader
ANKARA, Oct 12 (Reuters) - Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan discussed the conflict between Israeli and Palestinian forces with Emirati counterpart Mohammed bin Zayed in a call on Thursday, Turkey's presidency said.
"During the call, President Erdogan stated that ending the tensions between Israel-Palestine will be possible through the positive steps that the international community, namely regional countries, will take," the presidency said on social messaging platform X.
Ankara has offered to mediate the conflict, while a senior Turkish official said on Wednesday that Turkey was holding talks with the Palestinian militant group Hamas on securing the release of civilian prisoners. (Reporting by Tuvan Gumrukcu and Huseyin Hayatsever; Editing by Andrew Cawthorne)
