ANKARA: Turkiye鈥檚 main expectation from a planned International Stabilization Force in Gaza is for it to provide guarantees that the fragile ceasefire will last, its Defense Ministry said on Thursday.
NATO member Turkiye has been one of the most vocal critics of Israel鈥檚 devastating two-year assault on Gaza, calling it a genocide. It has emerged as a critical player and mediator in ceasefire efforts, voicing a desire to join the stabilization force despite Israel鈥檚 repeated objections.
At a briefing in Ankara, the ministry also said Turkiye believed the US-led Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) must ensure unhindered humanitarian aid deliveries into Gaza in line with international law.
