Israel Approves Multinational Security Force for Gaza Strip
Israel's security cabinet approved a legal framework to allow an international force into Gaza as part of a ceasefire plan proposed by Donald Trump.
The Israeli security cabinet approved a legal framework on Sunday to allow the International Stabilization Force, a multinational security force, to enter the Gaza Strip. The decision aligns with a ceasefire plan proposed by Donald Trump, which requires the disarmament of Hamas, a surge in humanitarian aid, and a civilian administration led by Palestinian technocrats.
The force will comprise 200 members from friendly nations, including Morocco and Uganda. These personnel will deploy in areas not under Israeli control, though each member remains subject to individual Israeli approval.
Concurrent with these diplomatic developments, violence intensified in the occupied West Bank. Following a fatal clash in the village of Tal on Friday that killed four Palestinians and two Israeli soldiers, settlers attacked Palestinian villages and torched two mosques. In the village of Qusra, Abdel Azim Wadi, head of the village council, reported that settlers set fire to a newly completed mosque and spray-painted Hebrew slogans on its walls.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with Donald Trump in Washington on Tuesday to further discuss the peace plan.
