Israel ruled out Türkiye’s participation in a proposed multinational stabilization force in Gaza, saying there will be “no Turkish boots on the ground,” amid reports that Ankara had issued arrest warrants for 37 Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Israel has ruled out the possibility of Turkish troops joining a multinational force in Gaza, which is expected to oversee the next phase of governance after Israeli forces withdraw from the enclave.
Speaking at a press briefing on Sunday (November 9), Israeli government spokesperson Shosh Bedrosian firmly rejected reports suggesting that Türkiye could participate in the International Security and Stabilization Force.
“There will be no Turkish boots on the ground, not in the present, not in the past, not in the future, specifically in the International Stabilization Force,” Bedrosian said, responding to a journalist’s question about Türkiye’s potential involvement.
Her remarks came after Turkish authorities reportedly issued arrest warrants for 37 Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, amid ongoing tensions between Ankara and Tel Aviv over Israel’s actions in Gaza.
According to reports, U.S. officials have been encouraging Israel to accept Türkiye’s participation in a future multinational civil-military administration, which is expected to help oversee the governance of Gaza as part of a phase-two arrangement following the withdrawal of Israeli troops.
Bedrosian’s statement made clear that Israel opposes Turkish involvement, signalling continued friction between the two governments despite calls from international actors for broader cooperation in post-conflict Gaza stabilization efforts.
Earlier on Sunday, Israel confirmed it had received the remains of a deceased hostage that Hamas said belonged to Israeli soldier Hadar Goldin, who was killed in Gaza more than a decade ago during the 2014 conflict.
The discovery of Goldin’s remains adds a deeply emotional dimension to Israel’s ongoing negotiations over hostages held by Hamas and its efforts to transition towards a post-conflict governance structure in Gaza.
Bedrosian reiterated Israel’s commitment to maintaining security control and oversight over any international arrangements in Gaza, emphasizing that Israel will decide which countries participate in future stabilization efforts.
The statement comes as diplomatic discussions continue between Israel, the United States, and regional powers over the establishment of an international administration to ensure governance, reconstruction, and security in Gaza once active combat operations conclude.
