Live Updates: Hamas Says Qatar, Egypt, US Guarantors of Compliance With Humanitarian Truce in Gaza

08:05 23.11.2023 (Updated: 18:36 23.11.2023)

ANKARA (Sputnik) - The Middle East has recently been in the focus of the world community due to the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. On October 27, Israel declared an expansion of its ground operation in the Gaza Strip to destroy Hamas militants and free Israeli captives taken by the Palestinian movement earlier in the month.

Turkey may put forward an idea of creating a "consortium" to restore the Gaza Strip after settling the conflict in the enclave, the Turkish newspaper reported on Thursday, citing sources.

Ankara could organize an international conference on providing assistance to the Gaza Strip and propose to restore the enclave by creating a consortium, including Turkey, among others.

Earlier this week, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called on wealthy countries to help the Gaza Strip.

On October 7, the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas launched a surprise large-scale rocket attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip, breaching the border and killing and taking captives in nearby Israeli military sites and communities. The movement said that its operation, Al-Aqsa Flood, was in response to Israeli provocations and occupation of Palestinian territories.

Israel launched retaliatory strikes and ordered a complete blockade of the Gaza Strip, home to more than 2 million people, cutting off supplies of water, food and fuel.
