Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett called for Qatar and Turkey to be barred from any future role in managing Gaza, according to Middle East Eye. Speaking at a conference held by his B'Yachad party, Bennett did not elaborate on the current involvement of either nation in Gaza affairs or outline what specific governance structures he proposed for the territory following any conflict resolution.
The statement reflects deepening disputes over international mediation and diplomatic influence in Gaza. Qatar has served as a mediator in Israeli-Palestinian negotiations and maintains channels with Hamas, while Turkey has historically supported Palestinian causes and sustained ties with various Palestinian factions in the territory.
