Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu intends to derail the Gaza peace plan in order to return to the negotiation table on the ceasefire, but implement new agreements without Turkey’s involvement, Hürriyet reported.

The newspaper notes that Israel will also insist that Turkish troops not be included in any international stabilization forces.

“Netanyahu is not opposed to the creation of stabilization forces involving Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. He wants them to assist in disarming Hamas and destroying tunnels. For Netanyahu, the only issue is Turkey and the presence of Turkish troops in Gaza,” wrote the paper’s commentator, Abdulkadir Selvin.

Earlier, The New York Times reported that the Trump administration feared Netanyahu might undermine the U.S.-proposed Gaza peace plan. Washington’s strategy reportedly relied on U.S. special envoy Steven Whitkoff, Vice President Jay D. Vance, and presidential son-in-law Jared Kushner to restrain the Israeli prime minister from “continuing a large-scale attack on Hamas.”

On September 29, the White House released the U.S. president’s “comprehensive plan” aimed at resolving the Gaza conflict. The 20-point document included temporary external administration in the enclave and deployment of international stabilization forces. On October 9, Trump announced that representatives of Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement had reached agreements on the first phase of the peace plan during consultations in Egypt.

On October 13, a Peace Summit took place in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, convened to address the ceasefire in Gaza and the release of all Israeli hostages held there. During the summit, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, U.S. President Donald Trump, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan signed a summary agreement on the Gaza ceasefire. According to Sisi’s office, the participants called for the implementation of subsequent phases of Trump’s plan in Gaza, covering governance, infrastructure restoration, and political settlement measures.
