Turkish President Rajab Tayyab Erdogan called heads of several Islamic countries over violent clashes near the Al-Aqsa mosque and palestinian rights. Erdogan has spoken to the heads of state of Malaysia, Jordan, Kuwait and the political chief of Hamas about Israel.

A statement issued by the Turkish presidential office said Erdogan also spoke to Hamas' political bureau chief Ismail Haniya.

On Monday, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi also said his country was "doing everything possible for a ceasefire... And hopefully it will be possible."
