Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan affirmed that there are necessary measures that must be taken to move to the next phase of the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, noting that the implementation of some of these measures falls on the United States and President Donald Trump.
In an interview that will be broadcast later, Fidan explained that Turkey is working with Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates to implement the agreement.
He added that these countries are currently waiting for the implementation of some important steps, most notably the formation of a "Peace Council", handing over the administration of the sector to the Palestinians, and establishing a Palestinian police force.
Fidan pointed out that Palestinian forces will assume responsibility for maintaining security in Gaza at a later stage, stressing the need for the absence of any armed groups in the sector.
He also affirmed that the security problems in Gaza will end once the political guarantees are implemented, pointing out that the United States has begun to provide greater support and take more rational steps as a result of Turkish contacts with it.
He indicated that the main goal of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is to displace the residents of Gaza and the West Bank and annex them to Israel.
He affirmed that Turkey is ready to make every effort and bear all responsibilities in order to resolve the Palestinian issue peacefully, including sending forces if necessary, expressing his country's desire for the agreement to move forward and not stop.
He explained that if the agreement succeeds in bringing in aid and returning residents to their homes, the stabilization force will not face any difficulties in performing its tasks.
