Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan warned Thursday that Turkey, Qatar, and Egypt may take "radical steps" if the United States does not pressure Israel to comply with a Gaza agreement, Middle East Eye reported. Fidan did not elaborate on what such measures might entail or specify a timeline for their implementation.
The warning underscores rising frustration among regional mediators over stalled negotiations on the conflict. Turkey, Qatar, and Egypt have played central roles in attempting to broker a ceasefire and hostage release agreement. The three nations have coordinated closely with Washington on diplomatic efforts, though differences persist over how to compel Israeli compliance with proposed terms.
