"Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said in Istanbul on Thursday that Ankara is closely monitoring developments in Iran, warning that instability there would have regional implications. “Everything that will happen in Iran closely concerns us. We are following these developments very closely,” he said. “Solving Iran's problems with major international actors and avoiding scenarios of instability that will spread across the entire region, is also in our interest.” Turning to the situation in the Gaza Strip, Fidan claimed that Israel was not “strongly supportive of implementing the peace plan that the international community wants to apply,” despite the announcement of a second phase of the plan. He claimed that “Israel’s ultimate goal is for the Palestinians to leave Gaza.” On Wednesday, Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff announced the launch of the second phase of the US peace plan for Gaza, which includes the establishment of a Palestinian administration run by a technocratic government. Hamas and Israel reached a ceasefire agreement that came into effect on October 10, 2025, under the 20-point 'Trump Plan', which includes an immediate halt to fighting, the release of all hostages, whether alive or deceased, and the delivery of humanitarian aid into the enclave."
