Morocco Joins International Stabilization Force for Gaza

The force is expected to protect aid deliveries and train a new Palestinian police unit as governments seek clarity on its mandate.

  • On Wednesday, Morocco signed an agreement in Rabat to join the International Stabilization Force in Gaza, formalizing its participation in the multinational mission under King Mohammed VI's instructions.
  • Leveraging its role as a US ally, Morocco restored diplomatic ties with Israel under the 2020 Abraham Accords while continuing to support a two-state solution and publicly backing Palestinian statehood.
  • Under the accord, Morocco will provide a legal framework for deploying senior military officers, gendarmerie, and police personnel, alongside a planned military field hospital for Gaza.
  • Washington aims for a 10,000-strong force by late 2026, yet only a handful of states—Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, and Albania—have committed personnel to the mission.
  • Negotiations remain deadlocked as Israel refuses to withdraw without "visible progress" on Hamas disarmament, while expanding military control toward 70% of the enclave and complicating the transition.
