Minister of Foreign Affairs Hakan Fidan of Türkiye said that Türkiye was prepared to assume a de facto guarantor role if a two-state solution was implemented in Palestine.
Speaking on a television programme, Fidan said Türkiye had so far acted as a mediator in efforts to bring the Gaza war to an end, promoting peace through its close ties and longstanding support for the Palestinian causes.
Fidan said, "If an agreement acceptable to the Palestinians is reached, we are ready to do our part. Should a two-state solution be realised, Türkiye is prepared to take on the responsibility of a de facto guarantor."
He said that expecting "full trust" in Israel was unrealistic, emphasising instead the importance of international pressure to ensure accountability. The Minister of Foreign Affairs stated that an "early task force" was formed to address operational issues during the ceasefire process in Gaza, including problems related to the exchange of hostages and bodies.
He remarked that the group’s work aimed to maintain communication and coordination on the ground.
Fidan also noted that discussions were continuing on three institutional mechanisms outlined in US President Donald Trump's ceasefire plan for Gaza: a task force, peace council, and stabilisation force. However, he pointed out that their mandates and composition were not yet finalised.
The Turkish Minister of Foreign Affairs stressed that Türkiye’s defence and intelligence coordination demonstrated its willingness to accept greater responsibility if peace was achieved.
