 "Turkey hosts Foreign Ministers to discuss Gaza ceasefire")
As Hamas and Israel enter into trade accusations and series of negotiations, Foreign diplomats from Muslim-majority states will meet in Istanbul on Monday to discuss the US-brokered Gaza ceasefire. The talks will majorly focus on handling the escalating tensions and factors possible to monitor the truce.
Foreign leaders of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Pakistan and Indonesia will be joining the meeting in Turkey to suggest humanitarian efforts and counter a situation which took the shape of full scale war in Gaza, said Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Sunday.
Trump’s ceasefire deal will be discussed thoroughly along with the formation of the planned “international stabilisation force,” Fidan said on Friday.
Accord leaves key disputes hanging
The Gaza truce which came in effect on October 10 continues to face strains and remains unresolved including disarmament of Hamas and Israel’s withdrawal remains unresolved.
Turkey which is a member of Nato and the biggest critic of Israel, labelled the two-year conflict as a genocide on Gaza. Turkey swiftly played a central role in mediation of the conflict expressing desire in reducing the tensions and joining the task force.
Speaking in Istanbul ahead of the ministerial talks, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said while Hamas was complying with the ceasefire, Israel had a “very poor record” in that regard.
However, Turkey claims its full support towards Gaza, Israel opposed Turkish participation complicating the ongoing discussions and ability to monitor the force.
“Since the ceasefire agreement, we are facing an (Israeli) administration that has killed more than 200 innocent people and has not halted its occupation and attacks in the West Bank,” Erdogan said, adding that the capital city, Ankara would not allow the annexation of the West Bank.
