Turkiye’s foreign minister, Hakan Fidan, says Ankara is ready to commit troops to Gaza.
“We can also contribute meaningfully to the rehabilitation of health and education sectors as well as the training of the police force. In addition, we are prepared to provide troops to the International Stabilization Force,” he said.
Fidan also referenced the continued violations of the Gaza “ceasefire”, which experts said are likely to hinder foreign force deployment.
“The humanitarian situation remains fragile and ceasefire violations continue to occur. A prompt, coordinated and effective response is, therefore, essential,” Fidan said.
