Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said that he was confident in the diplomatic efforts of the new Trump administration to help end the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, reports. On the Middle East, Erdogan said he was banking on Trump “to tell Israel to stop”. “Continuing the policies of the Biden era will deepen the deadlock in the region and spread the conflict,” he said, suggesting “cutting arms supplies to Israel would be a good place to start” to end the conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon.
