Erdogan states Turkey is going to observe enforcement of Gaza’s deal
(MENAFN) Türkiye will participate in a task force to monitor the implementation of the Gaza ceasefire agreement on the ground, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced Thursday during the opening ceremony of the 2025-2026 academic year in Ankara.
Erdogan described urgent humanitarian aid, the exchange of hostages and prisoners, and an immediate halt to Israeli attacks as “of critical importance,” adding that Türkiye would work with the international community to support reconstruction and rebuild Gaza.
“Our aim is to halt the genocide in Gaza and bring peace to the region as quickly as possible,” Erdogan said, stressing that “nobody in the world deserves peace, security, and stability more than the people of Gaza.”
The remarks followed the announcement of a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas early Thursday in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, based on a 20-point plan presented by U.S. President Donald Trump.
The first phase of the plan includes an immediate ceasefire, the release of hostages and prisoners, a gradual Israeli withdrawal to a pre-agreed line in Gaza, and the entry of humanitarian aid, along with international support for reconstruction.
Senior officials from Qatar, Türkiye, Egypt, and the U.S. participated in the negotiations leading to the deal. Trump praised the mediators on his social media platform, writing:
“We thank the mediators from Qatar, Egypt, and Türkiye, who worked with us to make this historic and unprecedented event happen.”
