<p>Turkey's President Erdogan visits White House, in Washington</p>
<p>ANKARA (Reuters) -Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday praised Donald Trump's "efforts and leadership" to end the war in Gaza, after the U.S. leader secured Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's support for a U.S.-sponsored peace proposal.</p>
<p>After talks between Trump and Netanyahu in Washington, the White House released a 20-point plan that would see an immediate ceasefire, an exchange of hostages held by Hamas for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel, a staged Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, Hamas disarmament and a transitional government led by an international body.</p>
<p>It was unclear whether Hamas would accept the deal.</p>
<p>"I commend U.S. President Donald Trump's efforts and leadership aimed at halting the bloodshed in Gaza and achieving a ceasefire," said Erdogan, who met Trump at the White House for the first time in six years last week.</p>
<p>Turkey would continue to contribute to the process "with a view to establishing a just and lasting peace acceptable to all parties," he added on X.</p>
<p>Turkey has been one of the most vocal critics of Israel's two-year assault on Gaza, which it calls a "genocide". It has halted all trade with Israel, urged international action against Netanyahu and his government, and repeatedly called for a two-state solution.</p>
<p>A Turkish Foreign Ministry source said late on Monday that Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan had discussed Trump's proposal with counterparts from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Jordan in a phone call.</p>
