Türkiye is ready to assume a de facto guarantor role if a two-state solution in Palestine is implemented, Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Saturday.
Speaking on a television programme, Fidan said Türkiye has served as a mediator throughout the Gaza ceasefire process, using its diplomatic ties and consistent support for the Palestinian cause to promote peace.
“If an agreement acceptable to the Palestinians is reached, we are ready to do our part,” he said. “If a two-state solution is realised, Türkiye is prepared to take on the responsibility of a de facto guarantor.”
Fidan said it was unrealistic to expect “full trust” in Israel, stressing instead the need for sustained international pressure to ensure accountability and compliance with any peace arrangements.
He confirmed that an early task force had been created to manage practical matters during the ceasefire, including the exchange of hostages and the repatriation of bodies, and said its work would help maintain coordination between the involved sides.
The minister added that discussions are still under way on three institutional mechanisms included in U.S. President Donald Trump’s Gaza ceasefire plan — a task force, a peace council, and a stabilisation force — with details on their composition and mandate yet to be finalised.
“Türkiye’s defence and intelligence institutions are already demonstrating our willingness to shoulder greater responsibility once peace takes hold,” he said. “If a two-state solution based on the 1967 borders is achieved and Palestinians secure an equal, sovereign state, we are ready to act as a guarantor. This is a significant commitment — one that not every state is able to undertake.”
The statement follows the Sharm el-Sheikh peace summit held earlier this week, where Trump and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi hosted more than 20 world leaders, including Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
