International Stabilization Force (ISF)

The International Stabilization Force (ISF) is a planned multinational military force intended for deployment in Gaza. Proposed during the Trump administration, the ISF is envisioned as a key component of a new peace plan. Recent news highlights the potential construction of a 5,000-person US military base in Gaza to serve as an operating base for the ISF. Indonesia is considering contributing troops to the ISF, raising questions about the country's commitment to Palestinian solidarity. The ISF's relevance is heightened by ongoing breaches of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, with recent Israeli air strikes resulting in Palestinian casualties. The ISF's potential role in maintaining stability and enforcing peace in the region remains a significant point of discussion.
