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.
