Israel will veto Turkey’s participation in the international peacekeeping force for Gaza, citing Ankara’s hostility and connections to Hamas.

Israel won't accept the presence of Turkish armed forces in Gaza under a U.S. plan to end war in the Palestinian territory for good, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said on Monday.

The force would train and provide support to “vetted Palestinian police forces” and will “consult with Jordan and Egypt, who have extensive experience in this field”.

Turkey has agreed to purchase 20 Eurofighter Typhoon fighters in a £5.4bn deal that will extends production UK manufacturing sites into the 2030s.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is expected to discuss the pending sale of 40 Eurofighter Typhoon jets to Turkey on Monday when he meets President Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara.

"I'm proud that British Typhoons will form a vital part of the Turkish airforce for many years to come, as you defend Nato's south-eastern flank for the good of all of us," he added.
