International Forces in Gaza: New Draft Resolution
The United States has presented a draft resolution to the UN Security Council proposing the creation of international forces in Gaza for two years. This step will grant the US and other countries broad powers to manage the region.
Project Details
The document, marked as “Sensitive but not classified,” suggests that the international security forces (ISF) will operate until the end of 2027 with the possibility of extension. The main task is to ensure security and manage Gaza.
The ISF will be “enforcement forces,” not peacekeeping, as a source told Axios. They will include troops from several countries, agreed upon with the Gaza “Peace Council,” which, according to US President Donald Trump’s idea, he will lead.
Tasks and Mandate of ISF
The mandate includes ensuring the security of borders with Israel and Egypt, protecting the civilian population and humanitarian corridors. The ISF will also train a new Palestinian police force and stabilize the security situation in Gaza.
The draft resolution provides for the disarmament of Hamas if the group does not do so voluntarily. The ISF will also take on additional tasks to support the Gaza agreement.
Context and Background
The deployment of international forces is part of a ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel. On October 13, the US president and representatives from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey signed a document to end the war in the Gaza Strip.
The Trump administration seeks to maintain this agreement despite Israel’s shelling of Hamas positions. The goal of the ISF is to ensure security during the transitional period, during which Israel must gradually withdraw its troops, and the Palestinian Authority must implement reforms for long-term control over Gaza.
This draft resolution will serve as the basis for upcoming negotiations in the UN Security Council, aiming for a vote and the deployment of the first troops in the coming weeks.
