Türkiye’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan will attend a high-level international meeting in Paris on Thursday focused on the future of Gaza and efforts to secure a lasting ceasefire. Diplomats from Europe, the Arab world, and other partner nations are set to discuss the transition process in Gaza and coordinate strategies to stabilize and rebuild the war-torn enclave.
The Paris gathering aims to reaffirm support for the U.S.-backed peace plan proposed by President Donald Trump, which seeks to end hostilities in Gaza and establish a framework for governance, reconstruction, and long-term peace. The discussions will take place in coordination with the United States and include participation from Israel.
Participants will explore key aspects of Gaza’s post-war administration, including the potential deployment of an international stabilization force and the role of the Palestinian Authority in maintaining security. French proposals reportedly include a phased plan to train and equip 10,000 Palestinian security personnel, supported by a U.N.-mandated multinational force.
The meeting, attended by representatives from countries such as Britain, Germany, Italy, Spain, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Indonesia, and Canada, is expected to play a crucial role in defining the political and security roadmap for Gaza’s future.
Meanwhile, Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sarr criticized the Paris conference, calling it “unnecessary and harmful,” and accusing organizers of acting “behind Israel’s back.”
