President Donald Trump announced that a US-coordinated International Stabilisation Force (ISF) will deploy to Gaza very soon as part of his post-war governance plan. The multinational force is expected to include troops from Muslim countries such as Egypt, Qatar, and Turkiye. It aims to train vetted Palestinian police, secure borders, and prevent arms from reaching Hamas. The initiative, which helped achieve a fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas on October 10, still faces diplomatic and operational challenges amid Gaza’s worsening humanitarian crisis.

The United States has circulated a draft UN Security Council resolution to formalize the mission, sharing it with elected Council members, including Pakistan and regional partners. Diplomats from Muslim-majority nations say the proposal is sensitive due to strong pro-Palestinian sentiment at home and insist that any support depends on a clear UN mandate, a non-combat role, and coordination with Palestinian authorities. “It is a draft that will be negotiated and evolve,” one senior diplomat said.
Meanwhile, Azerbaijan has stated it will only send peacekeepers if fighting in Gaza stops completely. Officials in Baku emphasized that any troop deployment would require parliamentary approval, underscoring the cautious approach of potential ISF contributors.
