Foreign Ministers from Arab and Muslim countries met in Istanbul on Monday to discuss the situation in Gaza.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan hosted diplomats from eight Arab and Muslim nations including Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Pakistan, United Arab Emirates, Indonesia and Qatar.

The talks follow a meeting between the countries' leaders and President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the United Nations Security Council, preceding the ceasefire agreement.

They mark the latest effort to create an International Stabilization Force in Gaza, outlined in a 20-point US plan.

The ceasefire, which began Oct. 10, is aimed at winding down a war that is by far the deadliest and most destructive of those ever fought between Israel and Hamas.

Earlier on Monday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Israel of violating the Gaza ceasefire agreement and continuing its violent actions, while stating that Hamas was adhering to the deal.

Israeli strikes on Gaza this week killed more than 100 people following the killing of an Israeli soldier.
