Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan signaled Sunday Turkey would consider sending only civilian forces to monitor the border crossings in Gaza, as Hamas proposed to Egyptian mediators that European and Turkish monitors be present at the Rafah Gate.

The Turkish prime minister said his country could send civilian observers to Palestine to ensure a durable ceasefire. Â

 

Turkey is ready to contribute to efforts for the reconstruction of Palestine, he was quoted by Turkish media as telling London-based Arabian Al-Hayat newspaper.

 

Erdogan, however, ruled out sending a military force to the region.

 

Turkey has urged for the formation of an international monitoring force for Gaza and has said it is ready to participate. Turkey currently actively participates in peacekeeping missions in the West Bank city of Hebron and Lebanon in the Middle East, as well as in Afghanistan and Kosovo.

HAMAS WARM

The Islamist movement is open to Turkish observers being part of the monitoring system, Hamas official Ayman Taha told reporters in Cairo after talks with Egyptian intelligence officials.  Â

 

"We are open to the presence of European observers, Turkish observers and forces from Gaza’s national security to open (Rafah) on a temporary basis until the formation of a national unity government," he was quoted by AFP as saying.

 

He added the matter of Rafah is "complex and thorny."

 

Under a 2005 deal, Rafah can only be opened to normal traffic if EU observers and forces loyal to the Palestinian Authority which was ejected from Gaza in 2007 are present.

 

Hamas wants to "complete the truce, lift the siege and reopen the crossings before engaging in (Palestinian national) reconciliation," Taha said.

 

The issue of new system to monitor the border crossings is key to preserving the ceasefire, and Israel, the United States and Egypt are trying to work out security arrangements to ensure Hamas does not smuggle weapons into the strip before any opening.

 

Asked if Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's forces would be present at the crossings, Taha said: "Hamas is the existing government in Gaza."

 

Hamas wrested control of the Gaza Strip from Abbas's Fatah faction in fighting in 2007.Â

 

Egypt has ruled out opening the Rafah crossing in the absence of the Palestinian Authority and European Union observers.
