Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has cancelled his planned trip to Israel due to the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has cancelled his planned trip to Israel, citing the ongoing conflict in Gaza as the reason. Erdogan, who had previously expressed his intention to visit Israel, announced the cancellation during a press conference. He described the situation in Gaza as 'inhumane' and stated that he could not proceed with the visit under the current circumstances.

Erdogan's decision comes amidst escalating tensions between Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian group that governs the Gaza Strip. The Turkish President has been vocal in his criticism of Israel's actions in the conflict, while also maintaining that Hamas is not a terrorist organization, a stance that contrasts with the views of many international entities.

The cancellation of Erdogan's trip to Israel is seen as a significant development in the context of Turkey-Israel relations, which have been strained in recent years due to disagreements over various issues, including the Israel-Palestine conflict. Despite these tensions, Erdogan had previously expressed a desire to improve relations with Israel, a sentiment that was reflected in his initial plan to visit the country.
