00:00Countries are still working on a United Nations Security Council mandate for an international stabilization force in Gaza.
00:09Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan says any troop deployments will be decided once a framework is finalized.
00:17Fidan spoke after meeting in Istanbul with ministers from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Jordan, Pakistan, Indonesia, and Turkey to discuss the U.S.-brokered ceasefire.
00:31The plan could face delays over disputes about its mandate.
00:34Key questions include U.S. leadership and whether a timetable for Israel's full withdrawal should be set or tied to Hamas's dissolution.
00:42Fidan said Turkey wants Palestinians to take responsibility for their own security and governance after the war, although several steps remain before that can happen.
00:52The discussions come as Hamas and Israel continue trading accusations of ceasefire violations with ongoing violence raising fears for the fragile truce.
01:02Israel has also been accused of blocking sufficient aid from reaching civilians.
01:06Meanwhile, Israel has returned the bodies of 45 Palestinians to Gaza, bringing the total handed over under the U.S.-brokered ceasefire to 270.
01:16The exchange follows Hamas returning the remains of three hostages, confirmed by Israel as those taken during the October 7 attacks.
