Tensions Escalate: Netanyahu Opposes Turkish Role in Gaza Ceasefire

In the tense aftermath of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signaled his disapproval of any Turkish security presence in Gaza.

Netanyahu's statement emerged during a Jerusalem meeting with U.S. Vice President JD Vance, where discussions centered on Gaza's future governance. The ceasefire, although keeping hostilities at bay for 12 days, remains fragile, relying on a disarmament agreement with Hamas.

Turkey's proposed participation in an international monitoring force underscores regional complexities, given its past tensions with Israel. Vance maintains a positive outlook but acknowledges the magnitude of challenges ahead in securing lasting peace and rebuilding the war-torn enclave.
