Fragile Gaza Ceasefire: Netanyahu Opposes Turkish Role as Vance Optimistic

Jerusalem – October 22, 2025 – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu voiced his opposition to any role for Turkish security forces in Gaza, as U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance visited Jerusalem to discuss the ongoing ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas.

Speaking alongside Vance, Netanyahu addressed the “day-after” scenario for Gaza, highlighting discussions on who would provide security in the war-torn territory. While not explicitly stating his objection, Netanyahu strongly implied his disapproval of Turkish involvement when questioned.

Vance, reiterating U.S. President Donald Trump’s confidence in the ceasefire plan, expressed optimism about building a better future in the Middle East. “I never said it was easy. But what I am is optimistic that the ceasefire is going to hold and that we can actually build a better future in the entire Middle East,” Vance stated.

The U.S.-brokered ceasefire, now in its twelfth day, aims to disarm Hamas and establish an internationally-supervised Palestinian committee to govern Gaza, supported by an international force and vetted Palestinian police.

Turkey, which played a role in persuading Hamas to accept the ceasefire, has offered to participate in the international task force and provide military or civilian personnel. However, relations between Turkey and Israel deteriorated during the two-year Gaza war.

Hamas has resisted calls to disarm, stating it would hand over weapons to a future Palestinian state. Despite the ceasefire, violence persists, with reports of Israeli fire killing a Palestinian in Gaza City. Disputes also continue over the return of hostage bodies. Israeli authorities have handed over bodies of Palestinians they say were militants killed in the October 7 attacks, while Hamas has returned the bodies of some deceased hostages.

Since the ceasefire, Israeli forces have reportedly killed dozens of Palestinians. The ceasefire was preceded by the release of remaining hostages seized in 2023. While Vance has urged patience in recovering the remaining bodies of hostages buried under rubble, the situation in Gaza remains volatile.
