International Stabilization Force

The International Stabilization Force (ISF) is an entity approved by Israel's security cabinet to operate in specific areas of the Gaza Strip. This force is part of United States President Donald Trump's broader "peace plan." The ISF is intended to be staffed by forces from 'friendly countries' and will focus on areas outside of Israel's direct military control. Analysts suggest Israel's approval is a strategic move to alleviate US pressure and potentially fragment the Gaza Strip. The decision comes months after the UN Security Council endorsed a framework for ending the conflict in Gaza. The ISF's deployment is a significant development in the ongoing efforts to manage the post-conflict situation and establish stability in the Palestinian enclave.
