President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Thursday, October 9th, said Turkey would participate in a “task force” to oversee the implementation of the ceasefire deal reached between Israel and Hamas. He announced
We will hopefully join the task force that will monitor the implementation of the agreement on the ground.
Turkey, which has been closely involved in the negotiations, sent a team to the talks in the Egyptian resort town of Sharm El-Sheikh.
The agreement, which was scheduled to be signed in Egypt on October 9th, involves freeing the remaining hostages and is seen as a major step towards ending the two-year war that began with the Hamas-led pogrom. According to Erdoğan
It is of great importance to urgently deliver comprehensive humanitarian aid to Gaza, exchange hostages and prisoners, and for Israel to immediately cease its attacks.
He also promised Turkey would help reconstruction efforts in Gaza.
