Recent discussions among foreign ministers from Muslim-majority countries in Turkey focus on the urgent need to stabilize the situation in Gaza. The fragile ceasefire, which has faced numerous challenges since its inception on October 10, is under scrutiny.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan highlighted concerns regarding Israel's compliance, accusing it of a poor record and ongoing violence against Palestinians. In contrast, Israel attributes ceasefire violations to Hamas.
The meeting aims to foster international support for Palestinian self-determination and emphasize the necessity of humanitarian aid and reconstruction efforts in Gaza. Erdogan underscored the commitment of Hamas to the truce while calling for a collaborative approach among Muslim nations to lead reconstruction initiatives.
Additionally, discussions include the proposal for an international stabilization force to assist in rebuilding and training a Palestinian police force, independent of Hamas. The situation remains tense, with the recent return of remains of hostages and casualties continuing to raise critical humanitarian concerns.
As these diplomatic efforts unfold, the path toward lasting peace and security in Gaza remains uncertain.
