40% : "Since the ceasefire agreement, we are faced with an (Israeli) administration that has killed more than 200 innocent people and has not ended its occupation and attacks in the West Bank," he said, adding that Ankara would not allow the annexation of the West Bank or attempts to change the status of Jerusalem and undermine the sanctity of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Israel also accused Hamas of violations of the agreement and said its actions were acts of self-defense.

31% : AGREEMENT LEAVES TICKY ISSUES UNRESOLVED The US-brokered Gaza truce, which leaves unresolved issues such as the disarmament of the Palestinian militant group Hamas and the timetable for Israel's withdrawal from Gaza, has been tested by periodic violence since it took effect on October 10. NATO member Turkey has been one of the most vocal critics of Israel's attack on Gaza for two years, calling it a genocide, which Israel denies.
28% : Foreign ministers from several Muslim-majority countries will meet in Istanbul on Monday to discuss the fragile ceasefire in Gaza, as Hamas and Israel trade accusations of violations and talks continue to form a force to monitor the truce.
