Sources in the Turkish Foreign Ministry stated that Fidan will focus in his speech at the meeting on the need to continue firmly in efforts to resolve the Palestinian issue, and will renew Türkiye’s support for these efforts.
He is also scheduled to renew the call to secure a halt to Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, and to prevent them from obstructing the entry of sufficient and continuous humanitarian aid into the sector.
Fidan will also confirm Turkey’s readiness to continue its humanitarian aid to Gaza and contribute to the reconstruction of the sector. He will also renew Turkey’s readiness to engage in all international mechanisms aimed at protecting the rights of the Palestinian people and achieving security for them, and will stress the need to act as soon as possible to confront Israeli pressure and settlement activities in the West Bank.
On January 15, US President Donald Trump announced the establishment of the “Peace Council,” which is linked to a plan he put forward to end the war in the Gaza Strip, and which was adopted by the UN Security Council in its Resolution No. 2803 issued in November 2025.
Although the “Peace Council” emerged from the ruins of the Israeli genocide in the Gaza Strip with American support, its charter does not mention the Palestinian territory, where some 2.4 million people, including 1.5 million displaced persons, live in catastrophic conditions.
The charter describes the council as "a permanent international organization to promote peace and good governance in conflict zones," with Trump having broad powers for life, including veto power and the ability to appoint members, leading observers to see it as a maneuver to bypass the United Nations.
The council is one of four structures dedicated to managing the transitional phase in Gaza, in addition to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, the Gaza Executive Council, and the International Stabilization Force, according to the twenty points of President Trump’s plan to end the Israeli war of extermination.
The American news website Axios reported on February 7 that the White House is planning to hold a meeting of the leaders of the "Peace Council" on February 19, as part of pushing forward the implementation of the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire that began on October 10, 2025.
The website quoted a US official and diplomats as saying that the upcoming meeting will be the first official meeting of the council, and will include a donors' conference dedicated to the reconstruction of Gaza.
On October 7, 2023, Israel, with American support, began a two-year war of extermination in Gaza, leaving more than 72,000 Palestinian martyrs and more than 171,000 wounded, and destroying 90% of the infrastructure, with reconstruction costs estimated at about $70 billion.
