Ankara – Turkey will do what it can to help free an Israeli soldier whose capture led to the breakdown of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas but the priority should be the reinstatement of a truce, Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said on Friday.

“What is important is that the ceasefire is reinstated. To ensure this, together with others, we can take any step that could resolve this Israeli soldier issue. If Turkey can do anything, we will do our best,” Davutoglu told reporters.
“But if the ceasefire is stopped because an Israeli soldier is kidnapped, somebody should account for the 70 Palestinians killed (today). In our eyes, all people are equal,” he said.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, fearing an escalation of violence in Gaza, earlier called on Turkey and Qatar to use their influence to secure the release of the Israeli soldier.

Davutoglu, the cease fire was violated by your buddies the savages from hell.
Israel isn’t going to stop now! This is the straw that broke the camels back and will cause the backs of these violent choleras to be broken, once and for all.
“If Turkey can do anything, we will do our best”
Obama should tell Turkey, “If the US can do anything, we will do our best”.
Netanyahu finally needs to go in and bombard Gaza!
