TRUMP SAID "IT WOULD BE GOOD"
U.S. President Donald Trump had made his position clear in the debate in recent weeks. Before his meeting with Netanyahu, Trump responded to a question about whether "Turkish soldiers would be deployed in Gaza" by saying, "I have a very good relationship with President Erdoğan, and we will discuss this. If appropriate, I think it would be good."
NETANYAHU ISSUED A WARNING
Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu made a new statement regarding the ongoing debate. In his statement, Netanyahu said, "Turkish soldiers and Qatari soldiers will not be in the Gaza Strip."
CEASEFIRE IN GAZA
The first phase of the ceasefire agreement included the cessation of hostilities, the partial withdrawal of Israeli forces, the exchange of all living and deceased Israeli hostages for the release of hundreds of Palestinians held by Israel, and the entry of "comprehensive humanitarian aid" into Gaza.
The second phase outlined in Trump's 20-point peace plan envisions the complete withdrawal of Israel from Gaza, the disarmament of Hamas, the deployment of a stabilization force, and the establishment of a committee composed of Palestinian "technocrats" to temporarily govern Gaza.
Israel opposes the inclusion of Turkish soldiers in the International Stabilization Force.
