Overview

  • The draft defines the International Security Force as an enforcement mission authorized to use all necessary measures to demilitarize Gaza.
  • Core tasks include securing the borders with Israel and Egypt, protecting civilians and humanitarian corridors, and partnering with a newly trained Palestinian police force.
  • A transitional Board of Peace would consult on security and reconstruction, with President Trump saying he will chair it through at least 2027.
  • Countries including Turkey, Egypt, Indonesia and Azerbaijan have signaled potential troop contributions, though Israel rejects Turkish participation.
  • Regional talks flagged unresolved issues such as U.S. leadership, deconfliction with Israel, the ISF’s relationship with Palestinian police, and a timetable for Israeli withdrawal, as reports of heavy casualties underscored the ceasefire’s fragility.
