Israel has approved the legal framework for a multinational security force to enter Gaza, as proposed under former US President Donald Trump’s ceasefire plan, according to an Israeli official. The force, to be staffed by “friendly countries,” will operate in areas outside of Israel’s military control, the Israeli government confirmed. This decision comes a day before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu travels to Washington for meetings with Trump.
The security cabinet’s approval marks a key step toward implementing the Trump plan, which aims to stabilize Gaza through international involvement. Netanyahu is set to depart for Washington on Monday, where he is expected to meet with Trump on Tuesday. The plan has drawn mixed reactions, with some critics questioning its feasibility and impact on regional stability.
The proposal has also sparked political debate, with some figures calling for legal action against Netanyahu over the war in Gaza. Despite the controversy, the Israeli government remains committed to the plan, emphasizing its role in ensuring security and stability in the region.
