Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday that there is no point in discussing. what President Donald Trump has said about a plan to take over the war-ravaged Gaza Strip.

"From our perspective, there is nothing worth talking about the proposals brought up by the new U.S. administration regarding Gaza under the pressure of the Zionist lobby," Erdogan said in a news conference.

"This plan is completely futile ... No one has the power to remove the people of Gaza from their homeland. The people of Gaza will continue to stay in Gaza, live in Gaza, and protect Gaza."
