Egypt and Turkey wary of 'disarmament' language in Gaza UN resolution, sources says
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/egypt-and-turkey-wary-disarmament-language-gaza-un-resolution-source-says(www.middleeasteye.net)Egypt and Turkey are expressing serious concerns over a US-drafted UN resolution for a stabilization force in Gaza. The draft's language calls for the international force to "demilitarize" the region, which both nations fear could trap them into forcibly disarming Hamas. Egyptian officials argue for "decommissioning" weapons through negotiation and amnesty, stating they will not perform a task that Israel could not. Turkey views the proposal as outsourcing Israeli security to Arab troops, believing the force should act as peacekeepers rather than an enforcement arm of an occupation.
