Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has voiced firm opposition against involving Turkish security forces in a mission to oversee the ceasefire in Gaza, expressing his views during a meeting in Jerusalem with U.S. Vice President JD Vance.

Despite the fragile peace maintained over the past 12 days, Netanyahu emphasized his reservations about Turkey’s potential role, while Vance maintained optimism regarding the U.S.-backed ceasefire plan, which requires Hamas to disarm and envisions a monitored Palestinian committee to govern Gaza.

Amidst ongoing diplomatic visits by U.S. officials to bolster the ceasefire's progress, Turkey's intentions to contribute to the international task force highlight the complexities surrounding the rebuilding process and sustaining peace in the region.
