Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman held a telephone conversation with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to discuss regional developments, bilateral relations, the Gaza peace plan, and security in the Red Sea.

According to foreign media reports, the two leaders reviewed the regional security situation and stressed the importance of strengthening cooperation to promote peace and stability across the region.

During the call, they also discussed maritime security in the Red Sea. President Erdogan strongly condemned Houthi attacks on commercial shipping and expressed Turkey's full solidarity with Saudi Arabia in safeguarding international shipping routes.

The Turkish president also welcomed the Saudi-led maritime defense alliance, while both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to expanding cooperation between Saudi Arabia and Turkey across various sectors.

The two sides emphasized the need to enhance joint efforts to ensure the safety and security of navigation in the Red Sea.

President Erdogan also stressed that the success of the second phase of the Gaza peace roadmap depends on Israel's full implementation of its commitments under the plan.

The discussion comes after US President Donald Trump's Board of Peace unveiled the Road Map 2026, a comprehensive framework aimed at ending the war in Gaza, achieving lasting peace and supporting reconstruction. Prepared under UN Security Council Resolution 2803, the 15-point plan seeks to promote sustainable peace, effective governance and rebuilding efforts in the Palestinian territory.
