US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Friday that Israel had to be at ease with the nations contributing to a future international security force in Gaza, following reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu opposed Turkish involvement.
"We haven't formed that force yet, so there's still work going on," Rubio told reporters at a military coordination centre in southwestern Israel.
"There's a lot of countries that have offered to do it. Obviously as you put together this force, it will have to be people that Israel is comfortable or countries that Israel is comfortable with as well."
