The Turkish President's office announced that they discussed developments in Syria and Gaza during a phone call with their American counterpart. This came as the Syrian government announced a ceasefire with Kurdish forces allied with the United States after days of clashes. US President Donald Trump said he had a 'very good' phone call with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan, without providing further details. This week, the Syrian government took control of vast areas in the northeast of the country, allowing Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), led by Kurds, to retreat. The call took place as Trump was leaving the White House on Tuesday heading to the World Economic Forum in Switzerland.
