Plan to relocate Palestinians to Egypt, Jordan, or 3rd country 'unacceptable': Erdoğan

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Sunday said the plan to relocate Palestinians to Egypt, Jordan, or any other third country is "unacceptable."

Erdoğan reiterated the rejection of the plan to displace Palestinians during a phone call with French President Emmanuel Macron, said the country's Communications Directorate.

Both the leaders also discussed bilateral relations, as well as regional and global issues.

On the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, Erdoğan underlined Türkiye's continued efforts to end the war and establish a fair and lasting peace, said the directorate on X.

"As a country that has successfully brought both sides to the negotiating table multiple times, Türkiye can contribute to peace talks, including hosting them," he added.

He also stressed the importance of initiating a negotiation process that does not exclude either of the two conflicting countries.

They agreed to work in a more coordinated manner as leaders of two NATO allied countries, the statement added.
