Israel has agreed to allow a multinational security force to enter Gaza, following a ceasefire plan proposed by US President Donald Trump. On Sunday, July 27th 2026, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s security cabinet approved the legal framework enabling the force's deployment in the enclave.

An Israeli official stated that the mission, named the International Stabilisation Force, will consist of approximately 200 personnel from friendly countries including Uganda and Morocco. These forces will operate in areas of Gaza not under Israeli control, with each contingent requiring separate Israeli approval to enter.

Much of Gaza remains devastated after two years of full-scale conflict triggered by Hamas-led attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023. Following a ceasefire agreement reached in October, Trump outlined a peace plan for Gaza involving increased humanitarian aid, civilian governance by Palestinian technocrats, disarmament of Hamas, and withdrawal of Israeli forces.

Prime Minister Netanyahu was scheduled to travel to Washington on Monday, July 28th 2026, to meet with President Trump on Tuesday.
