The United States has submitted a draft resolution to the UN Security Council proposing the deployment of an international stabilization force in the Gaza Strip for at least two years, according to Axios. The document, labeled “personal but unclassified,” outlines a broad mandate for participating nations to manage security and governance in Gaza until 2027, with potential extensions. The White House aims to advance discussions on the proposal within days, followed by a vote, with plans to commence force deployments as early as January of next year.
The proposed multinational contingent would be tasked with securing Gaza’s borders with Israel and Egypt, protecting civilians and humanitarian routes, training a new Palestinian police force, demilitarizing areas, dismantling military infrastructure, and confiscating weapons from armed groups. Meanwhile, Israel and Hamas have maintained a fragile truce in Gaza, though Israeli officials continue exploring contingency plans for potential agreement breakdowns. A U.S.-led coordination center for Gaza assistance was established on October 21, with British military personnel later joining the effort.
