Munich, February 15 (QNA) - Doha Forum participated in the Munich Security Conference (MSC) 2026, convening a high-level panel titled “Conversation on Sustainable Peace in Gaza”, addressing pathways toward durable peace amid a fragile ceasefire, an ongoing humanitarian emergency, and the risk of renewed escalation.

The discussion examined what it would take to convert short-term de-escalation into sustainable peace, with a focus on credible sequencing and guarantees to sustain calm, scale humanitarian relief, and unlock reconstruction. Participants explored viable governance and security arrangements capable of commanding legitimacy on the ground, while assessing how regional stakeholders, working alongside emerging international coordination frameworks, can help underwrite stability, oversight, and long-term recovery.

The conversation also stressed the importance of institutions and incentives that can earn buy-in from Palestinians, Israelis, and key external actors, aiming to move the debate from aspiration to implementable outcomes by identifying obstacles and practical pathways forward.

The discussion featured senior leaders, including Advisor to the Prime Minister and Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Dr. Majed bin Mohammed Al Ansari, HE Chief Advisor on National Security and Foreign Policy to the President of the Republic of Turkiye Ambassador Akif Cagatay KiliC, Gaza Executive Board Member and Co-chair of the United Nations Foundation Sigrid Kaag.

Advisor to the Prime Minister and Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Dr. Majed bin Mohammed Al Ansari said: “While the ceasefire is holding, the humanitarian situation in Gaza remains deeply fragile. Sustainable peace will require continued mediation, humanitarian access, reconstruction, and a shared commitment from all sides to long-term stability.”

General Manager of Doha Forum Maha Al Kuwari said: “At a time when conflicts are increasingly interconnected and global trust is under strain, the Munich Security Conference remains a vital platform for shaping the conversations that influence international peace and security. Convening this discussion on sustainable peace in Gaza reflects Doha Forum’s longstanding commitment to inclusive dialogue and to advancing practical, implementable approaches to complex global challenges.”

Looking ahead, Doha Forum’s 24th edition will take place on Dec. 5–6, 2026 in Doha, Qatar, under the theme “Redefining Global Trust.” The Forum will convene global leaders, policymakers, and experts to advance dialogue on cooperation, responsibility, and trust in a rapidly changing world. (QNA)
