Istanbul Set to Host High-Level Meeting on Gaza
(MENAFN) Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan will convene a high-level meeting on Gaza in Istanbul on Monday, according to Turkish diplomatic sources.
The summit is expected to bring together the foreign ministers of Türkiye, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Qatar, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan — the same countries that met with US President Donald Trump on Sept. 23 on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, the sources said on Sunday.
Officials said discussions will focus on the latest developments following the Oct. 10 ceasefire and the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.
Fidan is expected to decry Israel’s attempts to create pretexts for ending the ceasefire, stressing that the international community must take a firm stance against Tel Aviv’s provocative actions.
He will also underscore the importance of coordinated action among Muslim countries for the ceasefire to evolve into a lasting peace.
The Turkish minister will stress that the humanitarian aid currently entering Gaza is insufficient and that Israel has failed to fulfill its obligations on this critical issue.
“Stressing that ensuring the uninterrupted delivery of adequate humanitarian aid to Gaza is a humanitarian and legal necessity, he will also emphasize that pressure should be placed on Israel to meet these needs,” the sources added.
Fidan is further anticipated to highlight the urgent need to implement arrangements allowing Palestinians to assume responsibility for Gaza’s security and administration, while safeguarding their legitimate rights and upholding the vision of a two-state solution.
He will also emphasize the importance of maintaining consultations and close coordination on steps to be taken within UN platforms, the sources said.
