Trump leads key negotiations to end the conflict in Gaza
The conflict in the Gaza Strip continues to be one of the most sensitive flashpoints in current geopolitics. In this context, the US president has intensified his diplomatic role by leading multilateral negotiations with Middle Eastern . The goal: to reach an agreement that will halt the violence, allow for the release of hostages, and lay the foundations for sustainable peace.
Strategic meeting with regional leaders
In recent days, the US president met in New York with a delegation of representatives from Muslim-majority countries. Key figures included Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan; King Abdullah of Jordan; Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif; Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly; Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud; Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani; Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto; and UAE Deputy Prime Minister Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
Peace proposal: 21-point roadmap
According to special envoy Steve Witkoff, the Republican leader presented a 21-point proposal. Although details were not disclosed, the plan includes a ceasefire, hostage recovery, security guarantees, and regional cooperation mechanisms. The initiative seeks to actively engage neighboring countries to prevent future escalations.
On his Truth Social account, the president noted that the talks have been "intense for four days" and will continue "as long as necessary to achieve a fully successful agreement." He affirmed that "all countries in the region are involved" and that both Israeli authorities and the Islamist group are informed of the progress. Although he did not offer specific details, he described the process as "inspired and productive."
Erdogan backs the vision of peace
One of the most notable meetings was that between the president and his Turkish counterpart. According to the Hurriyet newspaper, the two reached an understanding on the need for a permanent cessation of hostilities. Erdogan expressed his support for the US president's vision and emphasized that both are "in favor of halting the bloodshed as soon as possible." He also emphasized that bilateral cooperation is based on mutual respect and clear communication.
During his return to Turkey, the Turkish president expressed his hope that "some change will soon occur" in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The relationship between the two leaders, according to Erdogan, has strengthened since the US president's first term.
Regional context: persistent tension and international expectations
The president took office amid a two-month truce between Israeli forces and the Palestinian armed group. However, bombing resumed on March 18, marking a new phase of fighting . Eight months later, the violence continues. US officials indicated this week that significant progress is expected. The president told reporters that "it appears we have an agreement; it will be one that will allow for the recovery of the hostages and end the war."
A real opportunity or just another promise?
Although the president's statements raise expectations, many analysts question whether this initiative will translate into a concrete agreement. The recent history of the conflict is marked by multiple failed attempts at peace. However, the involvement of regional leaders such as Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt could indicate that this time there is a genuine opportunity for progress.
International reactions and diplomatic expectations
The international community is closely following these negotiations, especially organizations such as the UN and the European Union, which have expressed interest in supporting any initiative leading to a peaceful solution. Although they have not directly participated in the meetings led by the US president, their spokespersons have stated that any progress that includes humanitarian guarantees, respect for international law, and verification mechanisms will be welcomed. At the same time, regional media have begun to analyze the possible scenarios that could arise if the proposed agreement is successfully implemented.
