Hakan Fidan and Israeli representative clash at Gaza Peace Council meeting

During the first meeting of the Gaza Peace Council in Washington, a heated confrontation occurred between Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and Israeli representative Michael Eisenberg. According to reports from Israel's Kanal 13, Fidan accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, leading to a verbal altercation between the two parties.

U.S. special envoy Jared Kushner reportedly intervened to mediate and de-escalate the situation after the discussion became uncontrollable. The Gaza Peace Council was established following a UN Security Council mandate to deploy an international stability force, though the group has faced international criticism for lacking Palestinian representation.
