Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan discussed the latest proposal presented in the negotiations between the Palestinian group Hamas and Israel in his phone call with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in recent months.
Indirect talks mediated by the United States, Qatar and Egypt have so far failed to achieve a permanent ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

In the meeting requested by the other side, the latest status of the ceasefire negotiations between Hamas and Israel and developments in the region were discussed.
