This is the best summary I could come up with:
Turkey, which has supported Palestinians in the past, hosted members of the Islamist group Hamas which launched the attack on Israel, and backed a two-state solution, said on Saturday it was ready to help de-escalate tensions.
He added the formation of an independent Palestinian state, in line with the borders set out in 1967, with its territorial integrity intact, and with Jerusalem as its capital was now “a necessity that cannot be delayed.”
The fighting comes as Ankara was working to repair ties with Israel after years of acrimony over the status of Jerusalem and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Since fighting began on Saturday, Turkey’s foreign minister Hakan Fidan has held calls with his U.S., Palestinian, Spanish, Qatari, Saudi, Iranian, Egyptian, and Jordanian counterparts to discuss the matter.
Erdogan warned against “adding fuel to the fire” on Sunday, and said Turkey was ready to do whatever it can to ease tensions and stop the violence.
On Sunday, Israel’s envoy to Ankara said it was too early to discuss mediation and said Hamas’ attack showed the group should have no presence in Turkey or elsewhere.
