Türkiye’s intelligence chief in Qatar for Gaza talks

Türkiye's intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin traveled to Qatar on Tuesday to discuss US President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan, security sources said.

According to the sources, Kalin is set to meet the parties involved in ongoing negotiations between Hamas and Israel, mediated by Qatar, the US, and Egypt, focusing on Trump’s proposed plan to end the war in the Palestinian enclave.

Qatar’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed Al-Ansari told a press conference in Doha that Türkiye will join the talks on the comprehensive plan, emphasizing that the efforts of Qatar, Egypt, and Türkiye will be coordinated collectively to bring the conflict to an end.

Trump outlined key points of his Gaza ceasefire plan at a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington, DC, on Monday.

The 20-point plan includes the release of all Israeli hostages in exchange for a number of Palestinian prisoners, the disarmament of the Palestinian group Hamas, and the formation of a Palestinian committee to temporarily govern the enclave, among other provisions.
