Turkey Proposes Gaza Administration Before Hamas Disarmament
Turkey's foreign minister, Hakan Fidan, said that before Hamas can give up their weapons, there should be a proper Palestinian government and police force in Gaza.
He thinks this is a more realistic plan.
He also mentioned that Turkey and the U.S. are working to remove some sanctions that the U.S. put on Turkey.
These sanctions were because Turkey bought defense systems from Russia, which the U.S. didn't like.
Turkey hopes to fix this issue soon.
Turkey proposes a Palestinian civil administration and trained police force before Hamas disarmament.
Hakan Fidan states that expecting Hamas to disarm first is unrealistic.
Turkey and the U.S. are working to remove CAATSA sanctions imposed in 2020.
Sanctions were due to Turkey's acquisition of Russian S-400 air defense systems.
Turkey hopes to resolve the issue during a potential second term of President Donald Trump.

“I think they (SDF) should understand that the command and control should come from one place. There can be no two armies in any given country. So there can only be one army, one command structure … But in local administration, they can reach a different settlement and different understandings.”

“First of all, we need to see that the Palestinian committee of technical people are taking over the administration of Gaza, then we need to see that the police force is being formed to police Gaza – again, by the Palestinians, not Hamas.”
