Plan in Danger? Turkey Accuses Israel of Derailing Gaza Peace Initiative

Turkey accuses Israel of derailing the Gaza peace plan and calls on the international community to adopt a firm stance against Israel. Mladenov emphasized the parties' commitments to the Sharm el-Sheikh agreement. The Gaza Health Ministry reported 1,230 dead and 4,076 wounded since the ceasefire in October 2025.

Turkey's Foreign Ministry accused Israel of sabotaging the Gaza peace plan, stating that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's sole aim is to uproot Palestinians from their homeland and prevent the establishment of peace and stability in the region. The statement called on the international community to adopt a firmer stance against what it termed Israel's 'expansionist and militaristic approach.' The article quotes Nikolay Mladenov, who stressed that both sides have commitments under the broader plan and the Sharm el-Sheikh agreement, which promised the release of all hostages. It was also reported that since the beginning of the ceasefire in October 2025, the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry has reported at least 1,230 Palestinians killed and 4,076 wounded, with the total number of wounded exceeding 174,000, without specifying how many were Hamas militants and how many died of natural causes.
