US EditionUS Seeks UN Approval for an International ‘Enforcement Force’ To Deploy to Gaza: Report
The proposed International Stabilization Force would operate for at least two years to secure borders, protect civilians, and oversee Gaza's demilitarization and governance transition.
- 11/04/2025 United States circulated a draft U.N. Security Council resolution proposing an International Stabilization Force for Gaza, designated `sensitive but unclassified` to guide Council negotiations.
- Rising concern about remilitarization after the October 7, 2023 attack prompted U.S. push for the ISF, framing it to demilitarize Gaza by destroying military and terror infrastructure.
- Draft language links the ISF to the Board of Peace, assigns border security, civilian protection, and police training, with a U.S. official describing it as `enforcement force and not a peacekeeping force`.
- Negotiations among UN Security Council members will precede a vote expected soon, with Muslim-majority contributing countries willing to help but not to fight Hamas, while Israel opposes Turkish involvement.
- If approved, the draft grants participating nations broad authority in Gaza through the end of 2027, with the World Bank supervising reconstruction funds and critics warning of risks of foreign guardianship.
