The Turkish Armed Forces have completed their preparations to join a peacekeeping mission in the Gaza Strip. The units designated for this task are ready and awaiting orders for deployment to the region, as part of an international effort led by Egypt at the United Nations (UN).

Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdellaty confirmed that Cairo is working to secure an urgent resolution from the UN Security Council. The primary mission of this contingent would be to monitor the flow of humanitarian aid and ensure its proper distribution to the population in Gaza.

While the details are being finalized, Indonesia, Azerbaijan, and Pakistan are also in negotiations to contribute troops to the future stabilization force. A senior US official noted that these three countries are the leading candidates to contribute troops to a future stabilization force in the enclave.

Alongside peace diplomacy, Egypt has hardened its stance on actions in the enclave. Recently, Abdelatty denounced the “daily Israeli violations” in Gaza, despite the existing truce, warning that these actions threaten the ceasefire.

Assessing the cessation of hostilities, the Egyptian foreign minister described the situation as mixed, acknowledging the prisoner exchange but criticizing the continued incursions by the Israeli army.

The Egyptian foreign minister stated that any plan to displace Palestinians is a “red line” that will not be accepted by Egypt, a rejection shared by eight other Muslim countries. He also questioned Israel’s plans for the unilateral reopening of the Rafah border crossing and insisted on the Zionist entity’s legal obligation to open the five crossings that connect it to Gaza.

Along the same lines, Abdellaty assured that, on the Egyptian side, the Rafah crossing operates 24 hours a day to facilitate the entry of aid.
