| Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Tuesday he was willing to mediate between Hamas and Fatah to end Palestinian unrest, after his ruling Justice and Development Party finalized formation of the new cabinet. During a telephone call with dismissed Palestinian Premier Ismail Haniya, Erdogan affirmed Turkey's overall support for Palestine's cause and establishing an independent Palestinian state as basis for justice and peace in the Middle East. According to a press release by Haniya's office, Erdogan said inter-Palestinian conflicts would only weaken all relevant sides and affect the goal of establishing an independent state. On his part, Haniya congratulated Erdogan over winning the recent legislative elections as a victory for democracy, lauding Turkish support for Palestine. He termed Erdogan's victory as a gain for all Palestinians. |
