The head of Turkish diplomacy plans to present it tomorrow, Wednesday, during the extraordinary meeting of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) met in the Saudi city of Jeddah in the wake of the current war between Hamas and Israel.

“We put forward the main idea of ​​guarantees (…) It is a proposal, if there are better proposals, we will evaluate them,” declared the minister, who plans to meet today in Beirut his Lebanese counterpart, Abdallah Bouhabib. .

“We suggest that the guarantor countries be from the region, which includes Turkey, for the Palestinian side. For Israel, other countries should be guarantors. Once a agreement that both parties can accept, guarantor countries should take responsibility for compliance” he explained.
