Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a statement regarding the possibility of sending Turkish security personnel to Gaza, implied that he is against this situation, saying, "I have strong opinions on this matter; you can probably guess."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made striking statements regarding the possibility of sending Turkish security personnel to Gaza during his meeting with U.S. Vice President JD Vance. Netanyahu indirectly opposed this possibility, saying, "I have strong opinions on this matter. Would you like to guess what they are? Yes, you know," he said.
CEASEFIRE AND A NEW ERA IN GAZA
The meeting, which took place at the Prime Minister's Office in West Jerusalem, discussed the ceasefire process in Gaza and reconstruction plans. U.S. Vice President JD Vance emphasized the goals of disarming Hamas and restructuring the region, stating, "The process will not be easy, but I am optimistic that the ceasefire will continue."
"WE DECIDE ON ISRAEL'S SECURITY"
After the meeting, Netanyahu reacted strongly to claims that Israel acted under U.S. pressure. "We are not under the auspices of the U.S. When it comes to Israel's security, we do what we need to do," Netanyahu stated, asserting that his country makes decisions independently.
TURKEY'S ROLE IN GAZA DISTURBS TEL AVIV
Recently, Turkey's role in the reconstruction of Gaza and its potential military contribution have sparked debate in Israel... Some Israeli officials have assessed the possibility of Turkish soldiers operating in the region as a "strategic risk," while Netanyahu's statements indicated that the Tel Aviv administration might take a clear stance on this issue.
A SIGN OF A NEW BALANCE
According to experts, Netanyahu's statements show that Turkey's diplomatic influence in the region is being closely monitored by Israel. Ankara's active role in maintaining the ceasefire and the reconstruction process could reshape the power balances in the Middle East.
THREAT ON LIVE BROADCAST
On the other hand, speaking to the Israel-based i24 News channel, Gallia Lindenstrauss, a researcher at the Israeli National Security Institute (INSS) and an expert on Turkey, described Turkey's role in the reconstruction of Gaza as a "strategic threat." Lindenstrauss openly threatened that if Turkish soldiers entered Gaza, "a new Mavi Marmara incident" could occur.
