Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has said that U.S. President Donald Trump is the only leader capable of forcing Israel to stop its offensive in the besieged Gaza Strip. In an interview with journalist Hadley Gamble on the program 'On the Record,' Fidan argued that if President Trump uses Washington’s influence, it would be effective in ending the conflict. He also noted that Israel has violated ceasefire agreements multiple times.

Fidan emphasized that Turkey believes Trump is the only person who can exert real pressure on Israel. When asked about the possibility of Turkey sending troops to Gaza, he referred to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s earlier remarks, saying Ankara is ready to do everything within its capacity to advance a peace plan.

He added that Turkey is willing to participate in an international stabilization force in Gaza, but any troop deployment would depend on broader international consensus.
