Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan attended a meeting on the New York Declaration and the 20-point Gaza peace plan, the Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday.
The session, titled “The Way Forward: One Year After the New York Declaration and the 20-Point Comprehensive Peace Plan,” took place on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York City.
The ministry announced Fidan’s participation on Türkiye’s social media platform NSosyal but did not provide details about the discussions.
The New York Declaration was adopted at a high-level international conference in New York in July 2025, co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia.
The UNGA endorsed the declaration on September 12 2025, with 142 countries voting in favour, 10 against and 12 abstaining.
US President Donald Trump announced his 20-point plan the same month, aiming to end Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza and establish long-term peace.
Israel, meanwhile, continued striking the Palestinian enclave, killing nearly 1,400 people and injuring about 5,000 despite the US-led ceasefire agreement announced in October 2025.
Since October 2023, Israel has killed nearly 74,000 Palestinians and injured over 174,000 others in its genocidal war in Gaza, while destroying around 90 percent of the enclave’s infrastructure.
Meeting with Saudi, Syrian top diplomats
Separately, Fidan hosted a trilateral meeting in New York with the foreign ministers of Syria and Saudi Arabia.
He met Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Hassan al Shaibani and Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud at the Turkevi (Turkish House), Türkiye's diplomatic building in New York City, according to the ministry.
Turkish officials did not disclose details of the discussions or outcomes from the trilateral meeting.
