At the UN headquarters on September 24, 2025, a meeting took place between US President Donald Trump and a delegation from eight Arab countries. This event was highly praised by Trump, who called it “the most important” for him that day. However, the details of the negotiations have not been disclosed at this time.
Trump’s Negotiations and Plans
According to Politico, Trump and his team presented the so-called White Paper, which outlines the White House’s plan to resolve the conflict between Israel and Hamas. One source pointed to the presence of proposals concerning annexation, governance, and security after the end of hostilities.
Despite active negotiations, achieving a complete ceasefire remains in question. One informed party reported that actual progress on this issue remains limited.
Turkey’s Reaction and Erdogan’s Words
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan described the meeting with Trump as “fruitful” but did not delve into the details of the discussions. It should be noted that Erdogan plans to meet with Trump again on September 25 at the White House.
During his speeches on September 23, Trump criticized several countries that recognized the State of Palestine. He believes that instead of “yielding to Hamas,” these states should unite with the single goal of ending violence in the region.
Recognition of Palestine
On May 22, 2024, Norway, Ireland, and Spain announced the recognition of Palestine as an independent state. On the same day, US authorities expressed unwillingness to support such initiatives, emphasizing that such a procedure should be based on direct negotiations between the conflicting parties.
