Israel approves multinational force for Gaza under Trump plan
Israel will allow a multinational security force into Gaza as part of US President Donald Trump's ceasefire plan. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's security cabinet approved the legal framework on Sunday, enabling the entry of the International Stabilisation Force. The force will include 200 members from friendly countries such as Uganda and Morocco, deploying in areas not under Israeli control. Each contingent requires individual Israeli approval. The deployment timeline remains unclear. Gaza lies in ruins after two years of war triggered by Hamas-led attacks on October 7, 2023. Trump's peace plan, struck after a ceasefire in October, includes humanitarian aid, civilian administration by Palestinian technocrats, Hamas disarmament, and Israeli withdrawal.
