Netanyahu says Israel to decide which international forces in Gaza acceptable
- On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel will decide which foreign forces it allows in Gaza under U.S. President Donald Trump's plan, a stance backed by senior U.S. representatives.
- After Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack, Israel besieged Gaza for two years and still controls access, while Hamas has not agreed to disarm or join future governance talks.
- U.S. officials say the United States will not send soldiers, but the force could include Egypt, Indonesia and Gulf Arab states; U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said it must involve `countries that Israel's comfortable with` and talks continue in Qatar on a United Nations resolution.
- It remains unclear which countries would join the planned force, and Netanyahu signalled opposition to Turkish participation amid strained ties with Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan.
- Netanyahu framed decisions as independent, emphasising Israel acts autonomously within its partnership with the United States while the Trump administration seeks Arab states, Egypt, Indonesia and Gulf Arab states to provide funds and troops.

Netanyahu says Israel will decide which foreign troops acceptable
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday Israel would determine which foreign forces it would allow as part of a planned international force in Gaza to help secure a fragile ceasefire under U.S. President Donald Trump's plan.
"We (...) made it clear (...) that Israel would decide which forces are unacceptable to us," said Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu on Sunday, who is opposed to the deployment of forces from Turkey, a country that maintains close ties with Hamas.
