ISTANBUL, TÜRKİYE - NOV. 3, 2025: Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan hosts a meeting on Gaza in Istanbul on Monday, Nov. 3, bringing together the foreign ministers of the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Qatar, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan.

They are the same countries that met with US President Donald Trump on Sept. 23, on the margins of the UN General Assembly.

The meeting will address the latest developments in the Oct. 10 ceasefire and the 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.

Fidan will stress that the humanitarian aid now entering Gaza is insufficient and that Israel has failed to fulfill its obligations on this critical issue.

Fidan is also anticipated to stress the need to swiftly implement arrangements that would allow 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 highlight the importance of maintaining consultations and close coordination on steps to be taken within UN platforms.

Israel has killed close to 69,000 people, mostly women and children, and injured over 170,000 others in attacks in Gaza since October 2023.

A ceasefire between Israel and Hamas was reached on Oct. 10, based on a 20-point peace plan proposed by US President Donald Trump. Israel, however, has violated the truce multiple times.
