Ismail Haniyeh, the chief of the political office of the Palestinian movement Hamas, said on Sunday he would like to see Russia, along with Egypt, Turkey and Qatar, among the guarantors of security for the Gaza Strip.
In early February, Turkish newspaper Sabah reported that Ankara was ready to be a security guarantor for Palestine through its military presence in the region. Hamas would also like to see the United States among the guarantors, however, Israel stands strongly against it, the politician added. On October 7, 2023, Hamas launched a large-scale rocket attack against Israel and breached the border, attacking both civilian neighborhoods and military bases.
