Overview
- The text has been shared with select capitals but not formally tabled for full Security Council negotiations, with the United States aiming for a vote within weeks and initial deployments by January 2026.
- The proposed International Stabilization/Security Force is described by U.S. officials as an enforcement mission authorized to use all necessary measures, tasked with securing borders, protecting civilians and aid corridors, training a vetted Palestinian police, and pursuing the demilitarization of non-state armed groups.
- The plan establishes a Board of Peace to oversee a transitional administration and supervise the force through the end of 2027, working in close coordination with Israel and Egypt.

- Key hurdles include potential vetoes from permanent Council members, Israeli objections to any Turkish deployment, and unresolved language on reporting, command arrangements and rules of engagement.
