Egypt, Jordan to train 5,000 police for Gaza duties
Egypt and Jordan will train 5,000 Palestinian police for deployment in war-torn Gaza. The Anadolu Agency reported this news, citing Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdellatti. According to the report, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdellatti said that Palestinian police members will be trained in Egypt and Jordan to fill the security gap in Gaza. A list of them has already been prepared. In an interview with local media DMC TV, Abdellatti said that about 5,000 Palestinian police officers will be trained in Egypt to participate in the security system in Gaza after the Israeli military operation ends. He also said that Egypt and Jordan are cooperating to prepare Palestinian security personnel to avoid a security gap in the Gaza Strip. Abdellatti also said that an agreement has been reached with 15 prominent figures in Gaza to govern the territory for six months. However, he also commented that the Palestinian Authority is the only legitimate body to govern Gaza. Israel has decided to occupy the entire Gaza Strip. Israeli forces have already started working towards that goal. Last Monday (August 11), Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that after the occupation of Gaza City, Gaza will be governed by a ‘non-Israeli civilian administration’. Meanwhile, the Israeli attack on Gaza continues. At least 100 Palestinians have been killed in the attack since the dawn of Thursday (August 14). 61 people were killed in Gaza City alone. This information was reported in an Al Jazeera report.
