Overview
- The proposal, shared with Security Council members on Monday, outlines an International Security Force for at least two years as an enforcement mission rather than traditional peacekeeping.
- U.S. officials target a Council vote within weeks with initial troop deployments to Gaza in January, pending negotiations on mandate language.
- The force would secure crossings with Israel and Egypt, protect civilians and humanitarian corridors, train a vetted Palestinian police, and oversee the demilitarization of non-state armed groups.
- Oversight would run through a Gaza Board of Peace that President Trump says he will chair, with a technocratic Palestinian committee managing civil administration and aid routed via U.N. and Red Cross/Red Crescent channels.
- Participation by potential contributors hinges on the final mandate; Turkey signals willingness but faces Israeli opposition, Jordan offers police training rather than troops, and Pakistan says a deployment decision is under consideration.
