Israel approves legal framework for international force in Gaza
The International Stabilisation Force is set to include 200 personnel from friendly countries, with each contingent requiring separate Israeli approval to enter Gaza.
Israel has approved a legal framework to allow a multinational security force to enter Gaza under a ceasefire plan outlined by US President Donald Trump, an Israeli official said on Sunday, according to Reuters. The mission, called the International Stabilisation Force, would include 200 members from “friendly countries such as Uganda and Morocco.” The official said each contingent would need individual Israeli approval before entering Gaza, and deployment would be limited to areas not under Israeli control. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security cabinet approved the framework, and Netanyahu was scheduled to depart for Washington on Monday and expected to meet Trump on Tuesday. Much of Gaza remains in ruins following two years of full-scale war that began after the Hamas-led attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023.
HousingWire reports that after a ceasefire deal was reached in October, Trump proposed a Gaza peace plan involving a surge in humanitarian aid, a civilian administration led by Palestinian technocrats, Hamas laying down its arms, and Israeli forces withdrawing.
