Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan engaged in high-level diplomatic consultations Wednesday, speaking separately with his Saudi Arabian and Egyptian counterparts about the ongoing situation in Gaza and upcoming Palestinian-focused initiatives.
Fidan conducted telephone discussions with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan and Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty, according to Turkish diplomatic sources. The conversations focused on recent developments in the Gaza Strip and coordinated planning for Palestinian-related activities scheduled for next week.
The diplomatic outreach comes as the three nations prepare for events on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, where Palestinian issues are expected to feature prominently in international discussions.
Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt have historically played significant roles in Middle Eastern diplomacy, particularly regarding Palestinian affairs. The coordination among these regional powers suggests continued efforts to maintain diplomatic pressure and seek solutions to the ongoing Gaza crisis.
The timing of these conversations coincides with the annual gathering of world leaders at the UN General Assembly in New York, which traditionally serves as a platform for addressing major international conflicts and humanitarian concerns.
Turkish diplomatic sources provided details of the conversations but did not elaborate on specific outcomes or commitments made during the discussions between the three foreign ministers.
