Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said he may visit to Gaza on Dec 5, two weeks after Israel and Hamas secured an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire deal.

According to Today's Zaman, in plane en route to Ankara from Madrid, Erdoğan said Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal will possibly accompany him

“I had talks with Khaled Meshaal. I could make a surprise to you [by visiting Gaza]. He invited [me to Gaza]. And said they are ready,” Erdoğan said.

Erdoğan had planned to visit Gaza twice before but could not arrange the trip due to several factors, including the recent hostilities.
