Türkiye will convene a high-level meeting of foreign ministers from several Muslim-majority countries on Monday to discuss collective steps toward a comprehensive Gaza peace plan. The initiative aims to build unity among Islamic nations and support ongoing international efforts to end the violence in Gaza.

Focus on Regional Coordination and Peace

Announcing the summit, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said the discussions would focus on coordinating diplomatic strategies, humanitarian support, and post-conflict stabilization mechanisms for Gaza. He emphasized that Türkiye is “committed to fostering cooperation among Muslim nations to secure a lasting and just peace for the Palestinian people.”

Participating Nations

Foreign ministers from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Pakistan, Indonesia, and the United Arab Emirates are expected to attend. The meeting follows earlier consultations held in New York, where participating states expressed readiness to contribute to rebuilding Gaza and establishing a long-term truce framework.

Peace Implementation Agenda

A key item on the agenda is the proposal for a regional stabilization mission that would help maintain peace and oversee the implementation of humanitarian measures in Gaza once a ceasefire is achieved. Türkiye’s leadership role in this initiative underscores its growing influence in Middle Eastern diplomacy and its commitment to the Palestinian cause.

Global and Regional Reactions

While Muslim nations have welcomed the summit as a sign of renewed unity, some international observers note that Israel’s leadership has shown reservations about any Turkish involvement in Gaza’s post-war administration. Despite that, diplomatic analysts view the summit as a critical opportunity to shape the next phase of peace talks and humanitarian rebuilding.

Looking Ahead

The Ankara meeting is expected to conclude with a joint declaration outlining coordinated steps toward peace, reconstruction, and political dialogue for Gaza. It also aims to present a unified Muslim voice on the global stage, urging world powers to prioritize justice and stability for the Palestinian people.
