[76264] Turkish Foreign Minister sets conditions for normalization with Israel within a regional alliance framework

New Turkish roadmap for regional relations

Turkish Foreign Minister, Hakan Fidan, presented a political roadmap today that may change the face of the regional system. In interviews covered by Kan 11 | Arab-Palestinian Desk and Roi Kais and Guy Elster, Fidan stated that Israel could integrate into a security and regional platform that includes Turkey, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.

Conditions for thawing relations

The Turkish proposal is conditional on significant steps by Israel. According to the report on Kan 11, Fidan clarified that the main condition for joining this platform is Israeli recognition of a Palestinian state based on the 1967 lines.

In addition, according to War Room 🎗️, Fidan emphasized that Turkey and Israel could return to normal relations "without any problem," provided that Israel "stops killing Palestinians and preventing Gazans from accessing basic human needs."

The sources reporting on these matters focus on the coverage of the Arab-Palestinian desk and the security arena, highlighting the international pressure being exerted on Israel to end the fighting in Gaza and make progress on a two-state solution.
