The Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Affairs of the United Kingdom, David Cameron, concluded his Middle East tour with a meeting in Istanbul on Friday, where he met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan.
Mr. Cameron's tour took him to Israel, Ramallah, and Qatar, where he held discussions with Emir Tamim ibn Hamad Al Thani.
The tour primarily focused on the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas and the efforts to enhance food aid to Gaza.
Turkey has expressed its intention to engage in direct talks with the United States to seek the removal of a 10% additional tariff imposed on Turkish goods under the trade measures announced by President Donald Trump, Trade Minister Omer Bolat said on Saturday.
Turkey scoped out at least three air bases in Syria where it could deploy forces as part of a planned joint defence pact before Israel hit the sites with air strikes this week, four people familiar with the matter said.
Turkey wants no confrontation with Israel in Syria after repeated Israeli attacks on military sites there undermined the new government's ability to deter threats, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan told Reuters on Friday.
