Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan is traveling to Washington to represent President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at the inaugural meeting of U.S. President Donald Trump's 'Board of Peace'. The meeting, scheduled for Thursday, aims to address the Palestinian issue, achieve lasting stability, a ceasefire, and peace in the Gaza Strip, and advance a two-state solution. Hakan Fidan will call for Israel to end actions hindering aid to Gaza, stop ceasefire violations, and cease illegal settlement activities and settler violence in the West Bank. Turkey has also expressed readiness to contribute to Gaza's reconstruction and protect Palestinians' security. Italy will attend the meeting as an observer, represented by its Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani. The Board of Peace was launched by Donald Trump at the World Economic Forum in Davos in January, with at least 19 countries signing its founding charter.
