Overview
- The U.S. draft, described as sensitive but not classified, has been shared with Security Council members for talks, with a December vote sought and initial deployments as early as January.
- The proposed International Stabilization Force would secure Gaza’s borders with Israel and Egypt, protect civilians and humanitarian corridors, and train a new Palestinian police in coordination with both neighbors.
- The mandate envisions demilitarizing Gaza by destroying and blocking the reconstruction of military infrastructure and permanently removing non‑state weapons, including those of Hamas.
- The text outlines a Trump‑chaired Board of Peace to exercise interim governance and coordinate reconstruction funding until prescribed Palestinian Authority reforms are completed.
- Potential contributors include Indonesia, Azerbaijan, Egypt and Turkey, and U.S. officials stress it would be a control‑and‑stabilization mission, not traditional peacekeeping, as U.N. warnings follow reports of 465 settlers entering the Al‑Aqsa compound under police escort.
