Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a meeting with his security and political advisors to discuss Türkiye’s role in Syria and the Gaza Strip, Israeli media reported Friday.
According to the daily Maariv, the meeting focused on Türkiye’s position in the Gaza cease-fire process, where Ankara has acted as a guarantor, and its broader role in regional dynamics involving Syria and Gaza.
The discussions reportedly centered on Türkiye’s involvement in maintaining stability in Gaza following the cease-fire, as well as its influence in Syria.
The meeting was described as a high-level consultation between Netanyahu and his security chiefs.
In Israel, there has been an ongoing debate about Türkiye’s potential participation in an international stability force expected to be deployed in Gaza during the second phase of the cease-fire.
Tel Aviv has reiterated its opposition to Türkiye sending troops to join the multinational mission, which is planned to oversee stability in Gaza in the near future.
While Israel opposes the move, the U.S. administration has expressed support for Türkiye’s involvement in the International Stability Force.
Washington’s position underscores differing views between the two allies on Ankara’s role in post-cease-fire arrangements in Gaza.
