President Trump forces Turkey's military force on Gaza fences as part of his Middle East policy
Trump "compromises": agrees that the force will not be included in the multinational force, but will be an independent Turkish force
A security source told Meir Jurno, our military and security commentator, that the Israeli government is close to giving in to the American demand, and it may agree to the presence of an independent Turkish force on the border with Israel; about a month ago, we exclusively reported that Hamas's demand is that the multinational force be stationed on the border with Israel, and not inside the Gaza Strip (see the original article today in the diary). Hamas, guided by Turkey, demands that the organization have a symbolic presence in power in Gaza, and demands the stationing of a Turkish force in the Gaza Strip. Hamas wants a Turkish force to maintain Hamas' rule and help the organization expand its first symbolic presence in power in Gaza in the future without Israel being able to respond. The presence of a Turkish task force on the border with Israel, could lead to our assessment A regional war, without Israel being able to claim that the aggression began with the actions of the Turkish force on the border with Israel, since this force would have an agreed international mission, which could explain and justify friction with Israel.
By Meir Jurmo our military and security commentator
After Hamas returned most of the Israeli hostages, and since it intends to return the last of them, Sergeant Major Ran Gueili, Hamas is now using, under Turkish guidance, Israel's demand for disarmament and control, as leverage to deploy a Turkish force, which will initially allow Hamas a symbolic presence in power in the Gaza Strip, and then work to expand it, in a security and political reality in which Israel will find it difficult to respond.
Hamas's current demands are that it should have a symbolic presence in power, and that it should be able to possess light weapons, the deployment of the multinational force and the Turkish force on the border of the Gaza Strip and not inside it, an Israeli withdrawal to the October 6 lines, the opening of the Rafah crossing in both directions, and the unlimited flow of aid to the Gaza Strip.
Israel will not agree to any presence of Hamas in power in Gaza, and to the possession of any weapons by the murderous organization that massacred residents in the south. Israel does not agree to a two-way opening of the Rafah crossing, demands the deployment of the multinational force inside the Gaza Strip, but it may succumb to American pressure (which stems from Turkish pressure on the US and European countries) to deploy a Turkish military force in the Strip. Israel will not agree to move to phase two until the last of the abductees is returned to Israel.
