ANKARA

Türkiye's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and his Qatari counterpart Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani discussed on Friday regional issues, Turkish diplomatic sources said.

The two ministers held a phone call, according to the sources.

Türkiye and Qatar, along with Egypt, have played a major role in reaching the October ceasefire in Gaza.

Both nations are part of the Board of Peace, a US President Donald Trump-led international initiative originally conceived to oversee Gaza’s reconstruction after Israel’s nearly two-year war, which resulted in the killing of more than 71,000 Palestinians while destroying about 90% of the enclave’s infrastructure.
