Overview
- A U.S. draft before UN Security Council members proposes an International Security Force in Gaza for at least two years with authority to use all necessary measures under international law.
- The force would secure borders, protect civilians and aid corridors, train a new Palestinian police unit, and carry out demilitarization, effectively requiring Hamas to disarm if it does not comply voluntarily.
- A transitional Board of Peace would consult on security and oversee reconstruction through 2027, with President Trump saying he will chair it and a vetted technocratic Palestinian committee handling civil administration.
- U.S. officials aim for negotiations over days, a vote within weeks, and an initial deployment by January, though diplomats caution that disputes over scope and command could delay the timeline.
- Turkey has offered troops that Israel opposes, Jordan offers police training rather than soldiers, and countries including Indonesia, Azerbaijan, Egypt, and Turkey have signaled potential contributions as regional ministers met in Istanbul.
