Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Wednesday that negotiations to stop the war in Gaza had made “a lot of headway” and that a ceasefire would be declared if they reached a positive outcome.

Fidan said the talks in Egypt, in which Ankara is taking part, are focused on securing a ceasefire, exchanging hostages and prisoners, allowing more aid and coordinating a timetable for a withdrawal of Israeli forces.
