Poland has no intention of deploying its military forces to the Gaza Strip, Prime Minister Donald Tusk has announced.
According to Operative Information Center-OMM, the Prime Minister clarified the country's military stance during a recent press briefing. "The question must be stated clearly. Poland does not intend to and will not send its troops to the Gaza Strip. Poland has other security priorities and concerns. There is no need to explain to anyone what we are focusing on," Tusk noted, highlighting that the nation's defense resources are currently committed elsewhere.
The statement comes amid ongoing international discussions regarding peacekeeping and security arrangements in the Middle East. While several nations have been consulted on potential roles in post-conflict stabilization, Warsaw has remained firm in its policy of prioritizing regional threats closer to its own borders, particularly concerning the security situation in Eastern Europe and the protection of the European Union's external frontiers.
Poland, a key NATO member, has significantly increased its defense spending and modernized its armed forces in recent years. The Polish government continues to focus its strategic military assets on domestic defense and the stability of the Baltic region, maintaining that its primary responsibility lies in ensuring the territorial integrity of the Republic and supporting collective defense initiatives within the North Atlantic Alliance.
