Türkiye’s intelligence chief off to Qatar for talks on Trump’s Gaza plan

The head of Türkiye’s National Intelligence Organization (MIT), İbrahim Kalın, has traveled to Qatar to discuss developments surrounding U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza.

Local security sources said Kalın will hold talks with relevant parties regarding the Gaza plan put forward by Trump during the ongoing negotiations between Hamas and Israel, mediated by Qatar, the United States, and Egypt, Caliber.Az reports per Turkish media.

Earlier, Qatar’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari stated at a press conference in Doha that Türkiye will also take part in negotiations on a ceasefire in Gaza and the comprehensive plan announced by Trump.

He added: “The efforts of Qatar, Egypt, and Türkiye will be carried out collectively and in a coordinated manner to end the war.”

The peace plan, formally unveiled by President Donald Trump during a White House meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the same day, outlines a comprehensive 20-point framework for an immediate ceasefire, hostage releases, and postwar reconstruction. Trump described the plan as a "landmark deal" with broad international support, warning that rejection by Hamas would grant Israel his "full backing" to "finish the job." Netanyahu echoed this, vowing to ensure Gaza "never again poses a threat to Israel."

Trump's proposal, often referred to as the "Trump 20-Point Plan" (though some reports cite 21 points), represents a significant evolution from his administration's earlier, more controversial ideas on Gaza.
