Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel will decide which foreign troops are allowed as part of a planned international force to secure Gaza's ceasefire under U.S. President Donald Trump's plan. The commitment from Arab and other states remains uncertain due to Palestinian Hamas militants' refusal to disarm, as required by the plan. Israel has also expressed concerns about the composition of the proposed multinational force. While the United States has ruled out sending its troops to Gaza, it is in talks with Indonesia, the UAE, Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and Azerbaijan for potential contributions to the international force.
