Turkish Defense Minister Yasar Guler attends the NATO-Ukraine Defense Contact Group meeting at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Belgium on October 15, 2025.

Defense Minister Yaşar Güler has announced Türkiye's readiness to participate in a multinational task force for Gaza during NATO meetings in Brussels. The minister expressed satisfaction with the current ceasefire and hope for a two-state solution, while emphasizing Türkiye's ongoing humanitarian assistance to the region.

Türkiye has declared its preparedness to contribute troops to a multinational task force being established in Gaza, Defense Minister Yaşar Güler announced during the NATO defense ministers' meeting in Brussels. The statement underscores Ankara's continued engagement in Middle Eastern security matters and its willingness to play an active role in post-conflict stabilization efforts in the Palestinian territory.

NATO Meetings and Regional Security

According to a ministry statement released Thursday, Minister Güler participated in significant sessions addressing the alliance's deterrence capabilities, potential support for Ukraine, and various security concerns. The defense minister highlighted Türkiye's position among NATO's top five troop contributors and detailed the country's substantial investments in military modernization, including its commitment to meeting the 5% defense spending target.

Gaza Ceasefire and Two-State Solution

Güler expressed satisfaction with the current ceasefire in Gaza and voiced hope that it would mark the beginning of a fair two-state solution. He emphasized the importance of ensuring full implementation of the truce and maintaining uninterrupted humanitarian aid flows. The minister reaffirmed Türkiye's commitment to continuing its humanitarian support for Gaza alongside its potential military contribution to the stabilization force envisioned in US President Donald Trump's 20-point peace plan.

Bilateral Engagements and Defense Agreements

During the Brussels meetings, Güler held separate discussions with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and UK Defense Secretary John Healey, in addition to trilateral talks with his Romanian and Bulgarian counterparts. These conversations focused on enhancing bilateral and multilateral cooperation. Türkiye also signed a letter of intent concerning the Fires Centre of Excellence and a memorandum on the Distributed Synthetic Training High Visibility Project with allied defense ministers.
