Israel will alone decide which countries will be allowed to participate in the planned international security force in Gaza, says Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

According to the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, a coalition of mainly Arab and Muslim countries is expected to send troops to the devastated Palestinian territory.

We have made it clear to the international forces that Israel will decide which forces are unacceptable to us, says Netanyahu, who does not want to see the regional rival Turkey get a role in the security force.

Netanyahu also says that Israel will not ask anyone for permission to attack targets in Gaza or Lebanon if it is deemed important for the country's security.

We do not seek anyone's approval for this. We control our security, he says.
