The article discusses Turkey's emerging role as a key mediator in significant international conflicts involving Iran, the Gaza Strip, and Ukraine. Recently, amid heightened tensions around Iran due to U.S. military presence, an Axios report indicated that representatives from Iran and the U.S. are set to engage in high-level talks in Istanbul, highlighting Turkey's strategic positioning, despite changes in meeting location due to resistance from Iran.

Turkey's involvement in the ongoing conflict in Gaza has been notably impactful, as it facilitated a ceasefire during the last Gaza war. When negotiations hit an impasse, Donald Trump sought Turkish President Erdogan's assistance, leading to Turkey persuading Hamas to agree to a truce. Additionally, there are calls for Turkey to be included in any international stabilization force in Gaza, given its established negotiation power, although Israel opposes this due to regional security concerns.

Finally, the article points out Turkey's involvement in the Ukraine conflict, where it was included in discussions about post-war peacekeeping troops alongside France and the UK. This role has significantly elevated Turkey's status in European affairs, as it seeks to position itself as a vital player in peace negotiations across these conflicted regions.
