Türkiye stands prepared to "do whatever it takes" to support ongoing peace initiatives in Gaza, Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Saturday.
Fidan's comments came during the 23rd Doha Forum in Qatar's capital, in response to questions about whether Ankara might deploy troops to the region.
He outlined extensive discussions on forming an International Stabilization Force (ISF) for Gaza, with evaluations focusing on deployment methods, mission objectives and operational guidelines.
Fidan urged a "realistic" perspective on the force's role, given "realities in the field."
"I think our first objective in deploying ISF should be to separate Palestinians from the Israelis on the border line. This should be our main objective. Then, we can address the other remaining issues," he explained.
To ensure the ISF's success, Fidan stressed the need for a trained police force, local administrations and a peace committee.
While the contributing nations remain undecided, he noted the framework would evolve post-deployment.
Reflecting on Syria, Fidan highlighted Ankara's open-door policy following the civil war, which prioritized humanitarian aid.
He called for global collaboration to foster stability in Syria.
Fidan also noted that U.S. President Donald Trump's mediation and peacebuilding efforts align with Türkiye's priorities, as Ankara pushes for ceasefires in both Ukraine and Gaza.
On the Russia-Ukraine conflict, he suggested Europe requires "more creative solutions to become more resilient."
"I think the only viable way to go and finish this war is to engage faithfully and forcefully in peace talks. There is a good mediation taking place at the moment," Fidan said.
"I know that Europe has every reason not to trust Russia, and also vice versa; if you listen to Russia, they have every reason not to trust anybody else. But they have their perspectives," he added.
On the sidelines of the Forum, Fidan also met with Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani.
No details were provided on the meeting.
The 23rd Doha Forum opened in the Qatari capital on Saturday under the theme "Justice in Action: Beyond Promises to Progress."
The two-day gathering unites world leaders such as Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa, Fidan, Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares, World Economic Forum President Borge Brende, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former Microsoft CEO Bill Gates.
