TURKEY could take part in an international stability force in Lebanon if a ceasefire is established and both Israel and Lebanon approve such a mission, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said overnight.

'We, as Turkey, will not take part unless a complete ceasefire is put in place,' Mr Erdogan said, the Anatolia news agency reported.

'Once a ceasefire has been established, then related parties, both Israel and Lebanon, must be consulted. If they say 'yes', then we would take part,' he added."
