Erdogan doesn't need the Peace Council - his envoys are already operating in Gaza
The article claims that Turkey, under Erdogan, operates unhindered in the Gaza Strip through the IHH organization, declared by Israel as a terrorist group. The organization distributes food, builds mosques and schools, and even cleared rubble. The article quotes Erdogan saying in 2004 that Turkey could act against Israel as it did in Karabakh and Libya.
The article on Channel 14 claims that Turkey, under President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, is establishing a foothold in the Gaza Strip through the Turkish IHH organization, declared by Israel as a terrorist group. The organization, which led the Mavi Marmara flotilla in 2010, now operates unhindered in the Strip: distributing food, building mosques and schools, and in April 2026 even cleared rubble in northern Gaza using tractors flying Turkish flags. The article quotes an Israeli military source saying there are no Turks on the ground, but rather local Gazan hires. However, it emphasizes that Erdogan is not content with declarations and acts on the ground. As background, a quote from Erdogan in 2004 is presented: 'We must be very strong, so that Israel does not do ridiculous things to Palestine. Just as we entered Karabakh and Libya, we can do something similar to them.' The article also mentions Turkish proxies in Sudan, Somalia, and Libya, and its military intervention in Libya and Azerbaijan.
