Washington: US President Donald Trump met with the leaders of Islamic countries in New York. The meeting, which lasted about 50 minutes, included a detailed discussion on the situation in the Middle East, including Gaza.

The meeting with the US President was attended by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, as well as the leaders of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, and Indonesia.

US President Donald Trump and the Muslim leaders left the hall after the meeting without speaking, but after some time, the US President, while talking to the media, described the meeting with the Muslim leaders as very successful. President Trump said that it was a very good and successful meeting with his great leaders regarding Gaza.

President Trump stated that his meeting with all the major players except Israel was very successful. He will also meet with the Israeli leader and thinks that they can take some action for Gaza.

On the other hand, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also described President Trump's meeting with the Muslim leaders as very useful.

At the beginning of the meeting, US President Trump said that we want to end the war in Gaza and we will end it. It may be ended now. President Trump had said that this is one of the most important meetings for him because we will end something that we did not start.

Before meeting Muslim leaders, the US President said in his address to the United Nations General Assembly that some countries are recognizing the Palestinian state, but recognizing the Palestinian state would be tantamount to rewarding Hamas for its atrocities.

The US President added that he wants a ceasefire in Gaza and the return of the hostages, and also wants the bodies of the 38 hostages from Hamas.

President Trump claimed in his address that Hamas rejected the peace offer, and those who want peace should try to release the hostages.

It is pertinent to note that regarding the meeting between the US President and the heads of Muslim leaders, the US media claimed in its report that the US wants Arab and Muslim countries to send troops to Gaza so that Israel can withdraw.

The report stated that the US also wants Arab and Muslim countries to provide funds for the transfer of power and reconstruction work in Palestine.
