What he's saying:
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Thursday that Turkey will take responsibility for monitoring the implementation of a recent agreement related to Gaza, emphasizing the importance of adhering to all its provisions.
“It is crucial to implement every clause of the agreement, and we will assume responsibility for overseeing its execution.”
“Israel has a long record of disregarding its commitments. We know they’ve used trivial excuses to avoid honoring agreements.”
“A return to the atmosphere of genocide in Gaza would come at a very heavy price.”
