Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan is going to call for major action in the meeting regarding Gaza in Istanbul on Monday (November 3, 2025). A source in the Turkish Foreign Ministry said on Sunday (November 2, 2025) that Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan is going to call at the meeting to make arrangements as soon as possible to hand over the security and administration of Gaza to the Palestinians.

A Turkish Foreign Ministry source said that the foreign ministers of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Jordan, Pakistan and Indonesia will also attend the meeting, which will focus on the progress of the ceasefire and the humanitarian situation in Gaza.

Fidan will emphasize on coordinated action of Muslim countries

According to Reuters report, the Foreign Ministry source said that Fidan will emphasize in the meeting that coordinated action among Muslim countries is very important, so that the current ceasefire can be converted into permanent peace.

Despite the ceasefire, incidents of violence have occurred several times

All the countries participating in the Istanbul talks also attended the meeting held with US President Donald Trump in New York, USA in the month of September during the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). Since the implementation of the US-brokered Gaza ceasefire agreement, many incidents of violence have occurred intermittently. But many complex issues like the disarmament of Hamas and the deadline for Israel’s withdrawal are still pending.

Relations between Turkey and Israel soured during Gaza war

According to the report, the source said that Fidan is going to say in the meeting that Israel is making excuses for breaking the ceasefire and will appeal to the international community to take a concrete stand against Israel’s provocative actions. They will also say that the humanitarian aid reaching Gaza is not enough and Israel has not fully fulfilled its responsibilities.

On the other hand, relations between Turkey and Israel have soured greatly during the Gaza war. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has strongly criticized Israel’s attacks on Gaza.

Hamas releases seven hostages, prepares to release 20 more

Hamas released 7 Israeli hostages on Monday (13 October 2025). This release is part of the first phase of the ceasefire agreement on the ongoing conflict in Gaza. Under this agreement, Hamas has agreed to release a total of 20 Israeli hostages, in exchange for which Israel will release 1,900 Palestinian prisoners. No official information has been given so far about the identity and health condition of the released hostages.

The path to peace mediated by Donald Trump

US President Donald Trump announced on October 9 that Israel and Hamas had agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of prisoners. This agreement was reached after several days of negotiations in the Egyptian city of Sharm el-Sheikh. Representatives of Israel, Hamas, Egypt and America were involved in these talks. According to sources, in this agreement the Trump administration laid special emphasis on the establishment of human corridor, safe release of hostages and providing aid to Gaza.

The conflict started from the incident of 7 October 2023

This ceasefire has come in the background of the conflict, which started with the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. That day, Hamas terrorists launched a massive attack on Israel, killing 1,219 people, most of whom were civilians. Hamas took 251 people hostage and took them to Gaza. After this, Israel launched a military campaign on Gaza, due to which thousands of Palestinians were killed and millions were displaced. Now this ceasefire has brought relief and hope for peace for both the sides.

An atmosphere of unity and relief in Tel Aviv

After the release of the hostages, people in cities like Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa held candle-lit thanksgiving ceremonies. Many families held photographs of their loved ones, hugged each other in Hostage Square and shed tears of joy. The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office issued a statement saying that this agreement is the result of both humanitarian responsibility and diplomatic success. He expressed his gratitude to all those countries who cooperated in this process.

Main terms of ceasefire

According to this phase one agreement, Hamas will gradually release 20 Israeli hostages and Israel will release 1,900 Palestinian prisoners. Both sides will maintain a ceasefire for 72 hours and humanitarian aid will be delivered to Gaza with the help of the United Nations and Egypt.

After Iran-Israel, peace is going to come in Gaza too. US President Donald Trump has claimed that Israel has agreed to a 60 -day ceasefire in Gaza. However, some conditions are also kept for this. Trump has also warned Hamas about this issue. He has asked Hamas to accept the agreement before the situation further deteriorates.

US President Donald Trump said through a social media post, “My representatives today held a long and effective meeting with Israeli leaders on the issue of Gaza Israel. Israel has agreed on the conditions required to finalize a 60 -day ceasefire, during which we will work with all the parties to end the war. Qatar and Egypt leaders, who have worked hard to bring peace, will present this final proposal. I hope that Hamas will accept this agreement for the good of Middle East, because if he does not do it then it will not be better but worse.

Israeli Prime Minister will go to America on July 7

US President Donald Trump will host the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on July 7. ‘White House’ has confirmed this from ‘The Israel Times’. Trump is intensifying his efforts for the release of ceasefire and hostages in Gaza. Donald Trump returned to power in January 2025, after which it will be Netanyahu’s third visit to the White House. The meeting will focus on the ceasefire in Gaza and the expansion of Iran’s regional activities and political relations.

Donald Trump had recently indicated a focus of focusing focusing on the end of the conflict, and had expressed the possibility of ceasefire in Gaza by next week. Netanyahu’s American visit is taking place after the US attack on Iran’s nuclear facility. At that time, Trump claimed to have a ceasefire between Israel-Iran.
