Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan stated that Israel’s repeated ceasefire violations are making it extremely difficult to advance the Gaza peace plan. His remarks followed a high-level meeting in Miami involving representatives from the United States, Turkey, Egypt, and Qatar, who discussed the fragile situation in Gaza and the next phase of the ceasefire process.

Fidan explained that the first stage of the ceasefire, based on agreements reached at the Sharm el-Sheikh Peace Conference, had been completed after the release of the last hostages. However, he warned that Israel’s continued breaches of the truce threaten to derail progress toward the second phase. The discussions also addressed obstacles encountered during the initial phase.

Reiterating Turkey’s position, Fidan emphasized that Gaza must be governed by Palestinians, remain territorially unified, and that all reconstruction efforts should prioritize the welfare of its residents. He added that significant investments are being planned for Gaza’s rebuilding, signaling Ankara’s intent to play a constructive role in the post-conflict recovery process.
