Turkey has been a longtime backer of Hamas, the Palestinian terrorist group that ruled Gaza before the war and currently controls just over 40 percent of the enclave\u2019s territory.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Beyond now holding a seat on the Board of Peace, Turkey, a NATO ally, is also seeking a role in a multinational force expected to be

disarmament<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Multiple media outlets reported that Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has yet to decide whether to accept Trump\u2019s invitation to join the US-led initiative in Gaza, with the country\u2019s participation in the international force still uncertain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">On Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed that&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.algemeiner.com\/2025\/10\/27\/israel-wont-accept-turkish-armed-forces-gaza-foreign-minister-says\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">neither Turkish nor Qatari forces would be allowed in Gaza<\/a>&nbsp;under the US-backed postwar reconstruction bodies, acknowledging a \u201ccertain dispute\u201d with Washington over the issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:

style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cPhase two means one simple thing: Hamas will be disarmed, and Gaza will be demilitarized,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are committed to these goals, and they will be achieved, either the hard way or the easy way.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Under Trump\u2019s Gaza peace plan, the international board of peace would oversee an interim technocratic Palestinian government in the enclave, supported for at least two years by an International Stabilization Force (ISF).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">The ISF \u2014 comprising troops from multiple participating countries \u2014 will oversee the Gaza ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, train local security forces, secure Gaza\u2019s borders with Israel and Egypt, and protect civilians while maintaining humanitarian corridors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color:

ISF would fail to earn the trust of the Palestinian people without Turkey\u2019s involvement, signaling Ankara\u2019s determination to assert influence over Gaza\u2019s postwar future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cIt would be impossible for any mechanism to gain the trust of the Palestinian people without Turkey\u2019s involvement,\u201d the Turkish leader said.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\u201cWe are in a key position for such a mission due to our deep historical ties with the Palestinian side, the security and diplomacy channels we have maintained with Israel in the past, and our regional influence as a NATO member country,\u201d he
