aza's future must be Palestinian-led and avoid any new system of tutelage, Turkey and six of its top Muslim allies said on Monday after talks in Istanbul.
Turkey, which played a central role in forging the now shaky three-week-old ceasefire, is pushing for Muslim nations to bring their influence to bear on the reconstruction of the embattled territory.
"Our principle is that Palestinians should govern the Palestinians and ensure their own security, the international community should support this in the best possible way diplomatically, institutionally and economically," Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said after the talks.
"Nobody wants to see a new system of tutelage emerge," he told a news conference.
Brokered by United States President Donald Trump, the Oct. 10 ceasefire, which halted two years of continuous bloodshed in Gaza, has been tested by fresh Israeli strikes and claims of Palestinian attacks on Israeli soldiers.
The talks involved top diplomats from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Pakistan and Indonesia.
Leaders of all countries were called to a meeting with Trump in September on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly, just days before he unveiled his plan to end the Gaza war.
