In a press briefing in Ankara, the ministry also stated that Turkey believes the U.S.-led Civilian Military Coordination Center should ensure the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza in accordance with international law. Turkey, a NATO member, has been one of the harshest critics of the devastating Israeli two-year offensive on Gaza, describing it as a genocide. Turkey's Defense Ministry said on Thursday that the most important thing Ankara expects from the planned international stabilization force in Gaza is that it will provide guarantees for a sustained ceasefire. Ankara has emerged as a key mediator in ceasefire efforts, expressing its desire to join the stabilization force.
