Khaberni - Reuters reported from American officials that the International Stability Force might be deployed in the Gaza Strip as early as January.
The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that the International Stability Force will not fight the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), and that many countries have expressed a desire to contribute to it.
They also noted that American officials are currently determining the size, composition, training, and rules of engagement of the force.
They confirmed that consideration is also being given to appointing an American general of brigadier rank to lead the force, but no decision has yet been made in this regard.
Axios reported yesterday from American and Israeli officials that the Trump administration is now "in the final stages of forming the new governance structure for Gaza," and it is likely that Trump will appoint an American general to lead the International Stability Force in the sector.
The site mentioned that Mike Waltz, the United States Representative to the United Nations who visited Israel this week, informed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other officials that the Trump administration will lead what is known as the International Stability Force and will appoint a general as its commander.
A resolution adopted by the United Nations Security Council on November 17 authorized a "Peace Council" in Gaza and the countries cooperating with it to establish a temporary International Stability Force in the sector.
The Security Council resolution, drafted by the United States, described the "Peace Council" as a transitional administration "that will set the general framework and coordinate the necessary funding for the reconstruction of Gaza" in line with Trump's 20-point peace plan to end the war in Gaza.
