US EditionTurkey Hosts Foreign Ministers to Discuss Gaza Ceasefire
Foreign ministers from seven Muslim-majority countries meet to address Gaza ceasefire strains and propose an international stabilization force, amid ongoing humanitarian concerns.
- On Monday, Turkey hosted foreign ministers from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Pakistan and Indonesia in Istanbul to discuss the fragile Gaza ceasefire and the international stabilisation force linked to the U.S.-brokered ceasefire plan.
- The Gaza truce that began on October 10 left disarmament and withdrawal unresolved, while Hamas and Israel exchanged violation accusations, prompting regional foreign ministers to meet.
- Hakan Fidan urged regional backing for Palestinian self-rule, saying `Nobody wants to see a new system of tutelage emerge` and `We must end the massacre in Gaza. A ceasefire in itself is not enough`.
- A key obstacle is Israel's rejection of Turkish troops, and Hakan Fidan said troop decisions will depend on progress at the United Nations on a peacekeeping mandate.
- Turkey's prominent mediation role, complicated by ties to Hamas, means President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's claim that more than 200 have been killed highlights urgent humanitarian concerns.
