Ankara should have no role whatsoever in the Gaza conflict since it has actively supported and enabled Hamas butchers…
I recently came across this disturbing story below after it had earlier been reported otherwise…
“Turkey’s main expectation for the Gaza stabilization force is a lasting ceasefire”…

The following analyses, with their important internal links, are very instructive…
The hypocritical Turks call for a “Two State” solution in the Arab-Israeli conflict, while Arabism already had almost 80% of the original 1920 Mandate of Palestine with the creation in 1922 of what would become Jordan today gifted to it…

What’s being demanded is a SECOND, not first, state for Arabs within the original Mandate’s territory. To accomplish this would mean that Israel would have to remain forever an extremely vulnerable 9-15 mile wide mere zipper of a nation, and the territorial compromise built into UNSC Resolution 242, guaranteeing Israel real and adjusted borders, not armistice lines, in the 4,000 year old ancestral Jewish lands in Judea and Samaria (“West Bank” only via British machinations in the 20 century)…

The REAL place where a two state solution is indeed called for is in Turkey itself and adjacent areas in the Levant and Mesopotamia as well.
Of a total population of about 40-42 million, there are roughly 24 million Kurds living just in Turkey alone, who predate Turks by millennia, and who’ve had their own native language and culture outlawed by the Central Asian invading Turks.
Ankara insists they’re “Mountain Turks”—not a distinct native people deserving of an independence, yet demands a 22nd nation for its like-minded, supremacist, rejectionist, Islamist jihadi Arab buddies who were also foreign invaders, originating from a fast desiccating Arabian Peninsula, conquering hundreds of millions of other native peoples ancestral homelands along with the original inhabitants from the 7th century C.E. onwards.
When will Ankara agree to a two state solution, with parts of Turkey, which are historically ancestral Hurrian , Gutian, Mede predecessor Kurdish lands, and parts of Syria and Iraq, which are also historically non-Arab Kurdish, Chaldean, and Assyrian ancestral homelands, forming the newest independent nation in the region? See what I mean next…

The double dealing Turks routinely make demands upon Israel which they never would do themselves, while being, along with Qatar, the most important enabler of extremist genocidal Arab and other Islamist groups in the region.
Ankara should not be rewarded for such actions by given any role whatsoever in the Gaza conflict.
The sad, read infuriating, reality is that Israel could have settled this ‘conflict’ numerous times since the early 1960s.
Had Israel ANNEXED all its lands in July of ’67 and extirpated Islam from within its borders, the World would be a much different place today.
Everyone, with a functioning brain, knows there is no such thing as “Palestinian” People or any mythical State of “Palestine”. This genocidal antisemitic Communist fabrication should have been crushed the moment it was spawned. It wasn’t and Israel, and the world, continue to pay the price from this Communist Revolutionary Islamic Jihad Red-Green FAKE people with a FAKE history and a FAKE flag.
God I wish Israel would wake up and do what must be done! Muck the Fuslims!!!
It’s easy to say that but those were difficult times for Israel. Israel urgently needed some new friends to restock after the French checked which side of the slice of bread was buttered.
This article missed an important point: the Turks are demanding a two state solution for Cyprus. This would make the northern part of Cyprus into a new country, under Turkish control, of course, just like it already is, but with international acceptance.
There is absolutely no reason why the Turks should get a foothold in the Gaza Strip. They would not keep the peace between Israel and the PA/Hamas. They would only be present to protect the PA/Hamas from Israel. If the PA/Hamas were to start firing rockets into Israel again, which what they are promising to do, the Turks will not hinder them at all, only protest at the UNSC, ICJ, ICC and so on that Israel is breaking the cease-fire treaty that nobody has signed, when they respond once again by mowing the grass. Exactly the same is true of the Qataris.
A UNIFG like UNIFIL would not be of any help at all. Many EU countries were involved in UNIFIL but rather than keeping Hezbollah grounded, they looked the other way and complained when they got a scratch from flying Hezbollah rocket shrapnel flying around when the IDF destroyed them. They didn’t hinder Hezbollah’s firing of rockets.
The downside to Israel policing the strip itself are:
the cost of keeping troops there indefinitely,
the cost in lives when the troops are attacked which they will be,
the indefinite unceasing international demands of all kinds to cease and desist,
the lack of any kind of support for this effort,
and so on and so on.
There are only two options here: destroy the Hamas, PA and all the other terror organizations in the Gaza strip or concede the loss.
Since Israel is a moral country despite all the ongoing shenanigans, we cannot expect Israeli soldiers to start raping and mutilating the Gazans or the Arabs living in Judea and Samaria. The Arabs are counting on that. They are also promising to repeat their attacks over and over unless they are permanently stopped. Probably the only way out of this conundrum is to preempt the Samson Option, where the biggest question is who and how many Philistines will die with Samson.

This is an important point.
