Turkiye hosts summit on Gaza, says Israel must stop ceasefire violations

Turkey Urges Israel to Halt Gaza Ceasefire Violations as Humanitarian Aid Looms Over Palestinian Enclave.

Turkey is calling on Israel to stop breaching a US-brokered ceasefire in Gaza, warning that repeated attacks are jeopardizing the lives of thousands of Palestinians. The call comes after top diplomats from several Arab and Muslim countries met in Istanbul on Monday to discuss a UN mandate for an international stabilisation force in Gaza, as proposed in a 20-point plan by US President Donald Trump.

Turkey hosted foreign ministers from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Jordan, Pakistan, and Indonesia at the summit. The Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan stated that Israel has failed to uphold its responsibilities under the US plan, which includes preventing food, medicine, and other humanitarian assistance from reaching Palestinians in Gaza.

"We do not want the genocide to restart in Gaza, we want the ceasefire to continue, and we want steps to be taken toward a two-state, permanent peace solution," Fidan said. He added that international pressure on Israel should be sustained, citing Israeli attacks that have killed nearly 250 Palestinians since the ceasefire took effect.

The Turkish diplomat stated that Turkey wants to see a post-war framework for Gaza in which Palestinians guarantee governance and security. Fidan's comments reflect a "joint view" of the nations attending Monday's summit.

Aid delivery remains inadequate, with half of Gaza households reporting worsening food access since the ceasefire. No food aid convoy has entered Gaza via a direct crossing since mid-September, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

The proposed international stabilisation force is central to Trump's 20-point plan, but details on its definition and requirements remain unclear. Potential participating nations are waiting for further clarification from the UN Security Council.

Israel has rejected the presence of armed Turkish forces in the proposed ISF, raising questions about whose troops could be called upon or refused as peacekeepers. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared to diverge from Trump's plan during a joint news conference with the US president, stating that Israel will retain security responsibility for "the foreseeable future."

The international community must define the ISF under clear standards of international law to ensure its effectiveness, according to Miroslav Zafirov, a former senior political advisor for the UN Special Coordinator's Office for the Middle East Peace Process.

I'm getting really worried about Gaza . Israel needs to take responsibility for their actions and stop breaching that ceasefire ASAP. It's not right that thousands of Palestinians are living in fear because of repeated attacks. We need to see more action, not just words from leaders like Netanyahu. Turkey is doing a great job as a mediator, but we can't rely on one country alone - the international community needs to step up and make some real changes .

I'm also really frustrated that food aid convoys haven't been able to enter Gaza in months. It's heartbreaking to think about families struggling to access basic necessities like food and medicine. We need to get this crisis under control, and fast . The proposed international stabilisation force is a good idea, but it needs to be defined clearly so we know what we're dealing with.

It's time for world leaders to put their money where their mouth is and make some real progress towards peace in the Middle East . We can't just talk about it - we need to act on it. The people of Gaza deserve better

I'm getting really concerned about Israel's actions in Gaza . It's like they're trying to undermine any chance of peace with those repeated ceasefire breaches. The fact that thousands of Palestinians are still at risk is just heartbreaking . Turkey's right to stand up for them, but it's also a reminder that we need more pressure on Israel from the international community .

I mean, what's the point of having an international stabilisation force if it's not going to be effective? We can't just have a bunch of countries sending troops without clear standards or definitions . And let's not forget, this is all part of Trump's plan, so there must be some conditions attached that we're not aware of yet .

It's also interesting that Israel rejected the presence of armed Turkish forces in the ISF. I guess they want to keep things cozy with their own security arrangements . But what about the Palestinians? Don't they deserve some protection too? The whole situation just feels so complicated and messy .

I'm really worried about the situation in Gaza . It's not just the humanitarian aid that's the issue, it's the whole lack of security and governance there. I mean, think about it - nearly 250 Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire took effect... that's crazy! And to make matters worse, Israel is rejecting the idea of an international stabilisation force in Gaza which would be so important for keeping peace.

I'm not sure why more people aren't speaking out about this. I mean, it's not just a Palestinian issue, it's a global problem. We can't just sit back and watch as thousands of people suffer because of some political disagreements between countries . And the fact that half of Gaza households are reporting worsening food access is just heartbreaking.

I think what Miroslav Zafirov said about needing clear standards of international law for an effective stabilisation force makes so much sense. We need to be able to define who would be part of this force and how they'd operate, otherwise it's just going to be another failed peace initiative .

Wow

I'm so worried about Gaza right now... the situation is getting worse and worse by the day. It's heartbreaking to see thousands of Palestinians struggling to access basic necessities like food and medicine. The fact that half of Gaza households are reporting worsening food access since the ceasefire is just devastating.

And what's even more frustrating is that there's a clear plan on the table, proposed by Trump, which includes an international stabilisation force to ensure peace in Gaza. But it's not moving forward because Israel is rejecting the presence of armed Turkish forces and other nations are waiting for further clarification from the UN Security Council.

We need to see some serious action taken here ASAP . The lives of these innocent people are literally hanging in the balance. It's time for the international community to step up and put pressure on Israel to uphold its responsibilities under this plan. We can't just sit back and watch as Gaza continues to suffer... that would be a disaster

 

[Battlefiel]

So I was reading about this Turkey-Israel thing and I'm just like... what's up with that? Israel's all like they want to keep things the way they are, but Turkey's all like "nope, we gotta do something". It feels like a big mess. The US is trying to broker this peace deal and it sounds like everyone's just kind of winging it? Like, what even is an international stabilisation force supposed to be? Is it gonna be a army or something? I don't get how these diplomats are supposed to figure all that out. And meanwhile, thousands of Palestinians are just sitting there waiting for food and medicine... it's like, hello?! Can we please just help them already?

 

[Thoughtful Teira]

this is so messed up... like what even is the point of all these talks and plans if no one's gonna follow through? Israel's just breaking ceasefire after ceasefire and now they're saying they won't let some international force stop 'em? that's not peace, that's just more violence. And meanwhile, Palestinians are still struggling to get food and meds... it's like the world is forgetting about them. we need real action here, not just empty promises from politicians.

 

[Vivacious V]

The situation in Gaza is getting increasingly dire . It's concerning that Israel is not holding up its end of the bargain under the US-brokered ceasefire plan . The fact that top diplomats from Arab and Muslim countries met in Istanbul to discuss a UN mandate for an international stabilisation force suggests that the global community is taking notice of the humanitarian crisis unfolding there . The Turkish Foreign Minister's comments are a stark reminder that time is running out for Palestinians, and we need to see concrete action taken towards a two-state, permanent peace solution . It's also worrying that details on the proposed international stabilisation force remain unclear . We can't afford to wait any longer to define its definition and requirements under clear standards of international law . The fate of thousands of Palestinians hangs in the balance .

 

[Blissfu]

The situation in Gaza is really heartbreaking. All these diplomats meeting in Istanbul and calling out Israel for breaching the ceasefire... it's like, where are the concrete actions? We need to see more than just words, we need to see real change.

The fact that half of Gaza households can't access basic food supplies since the ceasefire is just devastating. And no one's talking about the long-term effects on mental health, especially with all these kids stuck in a war zone... What's being done for them? I don't get it. We need international pressure to be sustained, but we also need to see some real progress.

And what's up with this international stabilisation force thingy? It sounds like just another buzzword without any clear definition or requirements. The UN needs to step in and provide more clarity on this before anything else happens.

 

[Poor]

Israel gotta stop doin' these attacks on Gaza already! Palestine people need help & food, not more violence Turkey is tryin to help, but they can't do it alone The world needs 2 come together & make a change UN should step in & define what's goin on w/ this international stabilisation force We don't wanna see another genocide in Gaza!

Food aid is super important, but we ain't gettin none Half the households in Gaza are strugglin' to access food & medicine It's time for Israel 2 take responsibility Turkey's tryin 2 help w/ a post-war framework 4 Gaza But we need more clarity on this international stabilisation force Who's gonna be the peacekeepers?

 

[Xenophobic]

Gaza is on life support Israel needs to step up their game ASAP

 

[Sim College in the]

omg this is getting so sad can't believe israel is still violating ceasefire in gaza and hurting thousands of ppl food aid convoys are stuck outside gaza & it's only getting worse for palestinians i'm all for international stabilization force but lets make sure its done right, not just a bunch of confused ppl sending troops around we need clear standards of int law to ensure it works. also gotta call out turkey on this one too, why didnt you guys do more to protect gaza earlier?

 

[Colonial]

Ugh, this is just great ... Israel's not taking this ceasefire seriously at all, and now thousands of Palestinians are gonna suffer because of it . It's like they're playing a game of cat and mouse with human lives, and the international community's not doing enough to stop them . I mean, what's the point of even having a 20-point plan if Israel's just gonna ignore it? And now there's talk of an international stabilisation force, but how reliable is that gonna be? ... I just have a bad feeling about this whole thing

 

[Average Aardvark]

The situation in Gaza is getting really worrisome . Turkey's call for Israel to stop breaching the ceasefire is well-deserved . I mean, can you imagine how dire things must be for Palestinians if half of their households are struggling with food access? It's just not right that humanitarian aid convoys haven't been able to get in since mid-September .

I'm all for the international community trying to find a solution to this conflict, but we need to make sure any plans we come up with are based on solid ground . I mean, what's the point of an international stabilisation force if it's just going to be murky and undefined?

And Israel's rejection of Turkish forces participating in the ISF? No thanks . We need a clear plan for how this peacekeeping thing is going to work before we start throwing money at it.

 

[Virtua K]

This is getting out of hand... Israel just needs to chill and respect the ceasefire already! It's not that hard to keep things peaceful in Gaza, but I guess Netanyahu wants to cling to his security blanket forever.

The world should really look into this 20-point plan by Trump - it sounds like a solid foundation for peace, but the lack of clarity around the international stabilisation force is giving me major headaches . What's the point of having an ISF if its definition and requirements are all muddy?

And can we talk about how Turkey is stepping up as a leader on this one? Fidan's comments were super diplomatic, but it's clear that Turkey has been trying to facilitate dialogue for years.

The fact that half of Gaza households are struggling with worsening food access since the ceasefire is just heartbreaking . We need to get aid flowing into those communities ASAP! No more excuses, no more delays - time for action!

 

[Android Acid 95]

I'm telling ya, it's just devastating what's happening in Gaza right now . I mean, 250 Palestinians already dead and the ceasefire is supposed to be working? It's like Israel's not taking this seriously enough. And don't even get me started on the humanitarian aid situation - it's a disaster! Half of those households can't even access basic food, let alone medicine... what's going on here?

And then you got these world leaders trying to figure out how to implement an international stabilisation force without any clear guidelines? It's like they're just throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping something sticks . I mean, come on guys! We need a plan that works for everyone, not just Israel.

I remember back in '02 when the Israelis were blockading Gaza, it was all over the news... people were protesting, holding signs, demanding change... I thought we'd made progress by now? It feels like we're right back where we started .

 

[Interstellar Kabuki]

I'm worried about this whole Gaza situation . It seems like Israel is just not taking the ceasefire seriously and it's putting thousands of Palestinians in harm's way. The fact that Turkey is calling them out on it shows how serious the international community thinks this is. I mean, 250 people already killed since the ceasefire started? That's crazy. And now they're trying to establish an international stabilisation force, but it seems like details are still missing . It's like everyone wants a piece of the pie without actually figuring out how to make it work. I just hope something gets done soon, because the situation is getting more and more dire by the day

 

[Bew]

I'm getting really worried about Gaza . It seems like Israel is just not taking their responsibilities seriously under the US plan. Like, 250 Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire started - that's a lot! And on top of that, half of Gazan households are struggling to access food and stuff. That's just heartbreaking.

I think we need to keep applying pressure on Israel until they start doing things right . We can't just sit back and watch as thousands of people suffer because of this conflict. The Turkish guys are trying to help, but it's like they're getting shot down by Israel .

We need to talk about the international stabilisation force too . It sounds good on paper, but if we don't define it clearly under international law, then what's the point? We can't just send troops in without knowing what we're doing or how they'll be treated.

This is such a mess, and I don't think anyone has a clear solution yet . But one thing for sure is that someone needs to do something about it ASAP
