JAKARTA - Turkey expects "good news" to end the humanitarian tragedy in the Gaza Strip in the near future with the support of US President Donald Trump, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said.

Trump said earlier he would order the lifting of sanctions against Syria to give the country "the opportunity to be better."

"I would like to thank Trump for announcing the lifting of sanctions against Syria yesterday in Saudi Arabia," Erdogan said during a speech at a parliamentary faction meeting from the Justice and Development Party.

"I expect the support of my friend Trump in ending the humanitarian tragedy in Gaza. We hope to get good news about Gaza in the near future," continued the Turkish head of state.

On March 18, Israel resumed attacks on the Gaza Strip, arguing the Hamas Palestinian movement rejected US plans to extend the ceasefire, which ended on March 1.

In addition, Israel cut off electricity supply to desalination factories in the Gaza Strip and banned the entry of trucks carrying humanitarian aid in early March.
