UN Plan for Gaza Force
Multiple outlets report that the UN Security Council is moving toward a vote on a US-crafted plan to deploy a multinational force in Gaza. The reports sharply diverge on what that force would look like and why it is needed. Israel Hayom reports a draft resolution based on President Donald Trump’s comprehensive peace framework that would send an International Stabilization Force (ISF) with a two-year mandate as the sole military presence in Gaza.
“The UN Security Council is preparing a resolution based on President Donald Trump's comprehensive peace framework aimed at stabilizing Gaza.”
This force would be tasked with demilitarization, including creating a buffer between Israeli forces and Hamas. Yeni Safak English says Washington’s draft creates an enforcement force with extensive powers to govern Gaza, protect civilians and humanitarian access, and train a new Palestinian police through at least 2027. The Guardian, by contrast, reports broad support for a US-led stabilization force, though without deploying ground troops.
It situates the push within an urgent need for humanitarian aid and a security and administrative presence, citing ongoing Israeli ceasefire violations and obstacles to aid delivery. İlke Haber Ajansı underscores the civilian catastrophe driving urgency, reporting UNRWA shelters crammed with tens of thousands. Human rights groups accuse Israel of collective punishment violating international law.
Governance and Security in Gaza
How Gaza would be run under international cover is also contested across sources. Yeni Safak English says the ISF would be supervised by a Gaza “Board of Peace,” empowered to “govern Gaza,” secure borders, and “train a new Palestinian police,” explicitly positioning the force as an enforcement authority. Israel Hayom reports the plan “includes creating a Palestinian policing force and establishing a new civilian and security apparatus under international oversight,” with the ISF as the sole military actor charged to demilitarize.
The Guardian describes a different governance track: plans for “a technocratic Palestinian committee to administer Gaza,” vetted with civil society and “expected to be linked to the Palestinian Authority,” while Arab states “caution against international forces policing Palestinians.” This governance debate sits alongside reports of Israeli ceasefire violations and aid obstruction, which increase calls for an international presence to stop Israel from blocking relief and to protect civilians.
International Force and Conflict Dynamics
Security aims—and whether the force would separate Israel from Hamas—are portrayed differently. Israel Hayom reports that a multinational force will act as a buffer between Israeli Defense Forces and Hamas militants along the 'yellow line' to ensure a safe exit for militants, which could literally place international troops between Israeli units and Hamas fighters. Yeni Safak English emphasizes the international security force’s role to oversee demilitarization and protect civilians, not to facilitate militant movement.
“A multinational force will act as a buffer between Israeli Defense Forces and Hamas militants along the ‘yellow line’ to ensure a safe exit for terrorists and prevent further conflict.”
The Guardian adds that Hamas is unwilling to disarm under threat of Israeli attack and reports the US disputing Israeli claims that Hamas is delaying the return of bodies. İlke Haber Ajansı documents Israeli and settler violence beyond Gaza, describing armed Jewish settler gangs, backed by Israeli forces, attacking Palestinian civilians and property. Human rights groups accuse Israel of collective punishment, underscoring why an international force is being discussed to restrain Israeli actions that harm civilians and to manage disarmament pressures on Hamas.
Gaza Resolution and Challenges
Timelines, end-states, and local legitimacy remain unsettled. Israel Hayom says voting on the resolution is expected in two weeks, with amendments likely, and roots the plan in Trump’s 20‑Point Plan. Yeni Safak English says the ISF would operate through at least 2027, signaling a longer horizon than a two‑year start.
The Guardian reports Arab states demanding a clear Israeli withdrawal timeline and a deconfliction mechanism. Gazans want international support for a Palestinian-led government rather than direct international control, even as an international security presence is seen as necessary to ensure Israeli cooperation and enable Gaza’s reconstruction.
İlke Haber Ajansı details mass displacement, UNRWA shelters crammed and short of water, power, and food, and health services near collapse. These conditions are evidence that Israel’s blockade and attacks have devastated civilians and that any force must directly protect people from further Israeli harm and enable aid.
