Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday that Israel is "heading toward isolation," which will "only grow in the days ahead." Israel recently faced criticism from its closest ally, the United States, for its "indiscriminate bombing" in Gaza and several countries imposed entry bans on extremist Israeli settlers in the West Bank.
Erdogan said he "extensively" discussed the situation in Gaza with US President Joe Biden and urged him to "step in." They also talked about Washington's sale of F-16 fighter jets to Turkey, with Erdogan claiming Biden told him he has a "positive perspective" on the issue and that he is ready to present his proposal to Congress, according to Turkey's Anadolu Agency.
