Yesterday, Anwar had called out the international community over their biased action against the oppression of Palestinians amidst escalation of clashes in Israel and the Gaza Strip.
He said that the clashes were a result of the injustice towards the Palestinian people, where hundreds of innocent lives were lost.
He had also stated his solidarity with the struggle of the Palestinian people.
Meanwhile, Erdogan on Saturday had urged Israelis and Palestinians to act with restraint in light of the events that took place in the region.
He added that Turkiye will continue to oppose any attempt against the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The reaction from the two leaders comes after clashes broke out between Palestine and Israel last weekend, where Hamas military wing, Al Qassam Brigades, carried out a complex attack targeting Israeli settlements near Gaza and in Israel.
The attack, codenamed by Hamas 'Al Aqsa Flood', bore fruit when they took control of the Israeli settlements over the border.
Israel Defence Forces then launched airstrikes against the Gaza Strip.- NST
