US EditionTrump Expects International Stabilization Force to Be on the Ground in Gaza ‘Very Soon’
The US-coordinated force, expected to number around 20,000 troops, aims to disarm Hamas and stabilize Gaza under a two-year UN mandate supporting a fragile ceasefire.
- President Donald Trump said he expects a US-coordinated international stabilisation force to be on the ground in Gaza very soon, following a US-drafted UN Security Council resolution circulated Wednesday.
- As background, the ISF's mandate would protect civilians, secure border areas and train a newly vetted Palestinian police force to help demilitarize the Gaza Strip under Trump's 20-point plan annexed to the draft resolution.
- Supporting details show the force would include around 20,000 troops, a U.S.-drafted resolution would permit it to `use all necessary measures`, and Washington shared the draft with council members requiring at least nine votes and no vetoes.
- Immediate consequences include Israel rejecting Turkiye's armed forces in Gaza, Azerbaijan requiring fighting to fully stop and parliament approval, and the US seeking a UN mandate before troop contributions from Indonesia, UAE, Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and Azerbaijan.
- Diplomats say the UN Security Council will start negotiations Thursday on a US-drafted resolution, with US officials stressing urgency and input from Russia and China, while United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres demands full international legitimacy.
