Israel Rejects Turkish Role in Gaza Peacekeeping Force

 

Palestinians whose homes were destroyed in Israeli attacks are struggling to survive in makeshift tents built over the rubble in the El Mugraka area in central Gaza on November 9, 2025. 


Israel has firmly ruled out the possibility of Turkish troops participating in a proposed multinational peacekeeping mission in Gaza. Government spokesperson Shosh Bedrosian stated on Sunday that “there will be no Turkish boots on the ground”, responding to questions about the composition of the force that is expected to replace Israeli military control in the enclave.

The plan, backed by U.S. President Donald Trump, envisions a temporary International Stabilization Force to oversee security in Gaza and gradually take over from Israeli forces. However, the force has yet to be established, and discussions continue among international partners about whether it should operate under a United Nations mandate.

Israel’s opposition to Turkish involvement stems from longstanding tensions with Ankara, which has been openly critical of Israeli policies and supportive of Hamas. Israeli officials, including Defense Minister Israel Katz, have reiterated that Turkey’s participation is a “red line” for Tel Aviv.

Meanwhile, U.S. officials have suggested that Turkey could play a role in the post-war administration of Gaza, but Israel remains adamant that Ankara will not be part of the security arrangements. The debate highlights the broader challenge of assembling a credible and acceptable multinational force to stabilize Gaza after years of conflict.

In summary, Israel’s rejection of Turkish troops underscores the deep political divisions surrounding the future of Gaza and complicates international efforts to establish a peacekeeping mission.
