Turkey Pushes Major Gaza Peace Plan in Diplomatic Blitz with Arab Allies

Turkey Pushes Major Gaza Peace Plan in Diplomatic Blitz with Arab Allies Turkey is spearheading a concentrated diplomatic effort with key Arab nations to advance a new proposal for governing Gaza after the war, aiming to forge a unified regional stance for lasting peace. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan held urgent telephone talks on Monday with the foreign ministers of Qatar, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia [26885]. The discussions focused on coordinating a push for a ceasefire and promoting Turkey's proposed "Board of Peace" as a mechanism to shape the territory's future [56755][26885]. Fidan has called the plan a "historic opportunity" for the region, suggesting the new administrative body would play a strong role in post-conflict Gaza, rather than a return to sole control by either Hamas or Israel [56755]. In a separate statement, Fidan also declared Turkey's readiness to take on a direct role in Gaza, saying the country is prepared to "fulfill its responsibilities with a great sense of duty" [5840]. The flurry of calls signals Turkey's attempt to align with influential Arab states to build momentum for its vision before upcoming peace negotiations [26885]. The proposal emerges as international debates intensify over post-war governance, with Turkey positioning itself as a potential key security and administrative player [5840][56755]. So far, no other nations have publicly endorsed the Turkish plan, which is expected to be a topic in forthcoming diplomatic discussions [56755].
